A.Dear Client,
1. Send a Legal Notice: Before filing a case, it is advisable to send a legal notice to the opposite party, in this case, the prospective employer. The legal notice should outline the facts of the case, the demands made by the employer, and the legal remedies sought. The notice gives the opposite party an opportunity to respond and resolve the matter.

2. Prepare the Complaint: If the issue is not resolved through the legal notice, you can proceed to file a complaint in the appropriate consumer court. The complaint should be drafted carefully, providing all necessary details, supporting documents, and evidence. It should explain the nature of the dispute, the amount of compensation sought, and the relief requested.

3. Jurisdiction and Forum: Identify the appropriate consumer court where the complaint needs to be filed. The jurisdiction is determined based on factors such as the amount of compensation sought and the location of the opposite party.

4. Filing the Complaint: The complaint needs to be filed in the prescribed format along with the required number of copies as per the rules of the respective consumer court. There may be a nominal fee for filing the complaint.

5. Hearing and Evidence: Once the complaint is filed, the consumer court will issue notice to the opposite party and set a date for the hearing. You need to attend the hearing and present your case. It is important to gather and present all necessary evidence to substantiate your claim.

6. Judgment and Execution: After the hearing, the consumer court will give a judgment, which may include an order for compensation or any other appropriate relief. If the opposite party fails to comply with the court's order, you may need to initiate execution proceedings to enforce the judgment.
Thank you.
