Hyderabad-based computer professional who was let go by computer mahindra received a legal notice for not providing him with a letter of release. To be more specific, on november 9, 2023, v balakrishna, an IT worker, started working at Tech mahindra in Hyderabad. A few months after joining, on february 23, 2024, he received a request not to report to work, along with an explanation that his services were no longer required. 

His credentials and taxi services were also cancelled. As instructed, he departed the firm. On the other hand, the systems indicated that his last day of employment was february 28. For six months, Tech mahindra tormented balakrishna by failing to issue the relieving letter. A Statuary right under the Central Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act 1946 is the issuance of a relieving letter. An employment letter from the firm should be sent to each employee who quits or is fired. 

On april 8, balakrishna brought a complaint to the Joint Commissioner of Labour in the district of Ranga Reddy. balakrishna was paid a portion of his pay following the filing of the lawsuit and several meetings with the corporation. However, he never received the letter of release from the firm.

Balakrishna eventually served Tech mahindra with a notice. It was said that offering a 60-day notice period upon resigning is against the telangana Shops and Establishments Act, Section 47. In the notice, Tech mahindra was requested to provide balakrishna with his letter of release, his entire salary, payment for the Rs. 25,000 in legal fees he had to pay for the legal proceedings, including mental distress, and to ensure that new hires are not forced to sign a contract committing them to a service period or surety bond; additionally, the company was asked to ensure that its paid leave policy and resignation notice period complied with telangana state law. Tech mahindra has until august 2nd to reply to the accusations outlined in the notification.
