Theft of Company material Theft of Company material

7 months ago

Hi, I work for a company which had a few of its resources (Raw material) in 1 place in Vadodara. Somehow the material was stolen from the premises. No idea who stole it.
Now my company is asking me to file FIR in Police Station for Theft of material. I am hesitant to file FIR as i'm aware of the long time delay that takes place in these situations.
I'm also planning to resign and move to a different company and i'm worried that even after i leave my present job, then i will be asked to come back here for any Court hearing/Police verification etc. Is this an issue?
Do i have to come back again for any matter related to this issue?
I don't want this issue to become a headache for me, please suggest what to do

A.Dear Client,
When the incident of theft is caused when you were employed in the Company, you are accountable equally with others, and if the matter reaches the Court, even if you left the Company, you may be called on by the Court to record your statement and for examination or cross-examination. So, in case you received any summon from the Court or Police Station, must appear before the Court or PS for your deposition in the matter, otherwise Court may issue a warrant of arrest against you. In that situation, you need to contact an Advocate to defend your case before the authority or Court.
