Q. Can I get a relieving letter if I don’t serve the notice period?

A. In the realm of possibilities, this is one such. But for this to be a possibility, you cannot be expected to abandon the company at your Will but you will have to take certain precautionary steps, which may or may not help achieve this possibility.

As a standard rule, you and your employer are bound by the terms mentioned in your appointment letter.

What you ought to do is seek a waiver from the management of your company. You can ask them to relieve you immediately on account of medical or education urgency, or you may also seek lessening of your notice period, during which period you should not take any leaves, or if you are willing to pay the amount equivalent to notice periods pay, you may do the same, for obtaining your relieving letter.

It is your way of communication which can help you obtain such waiver, and it will accordingly let your relieving letter be processed.

And, before quitting the company, make sure to obtain all the management-given promises on writing.

Q. Can someone claim ownership of a property if he stayed there for the last 18 years without any rental agreement?

A. through our offices, we have secured eviction of tenants who have been in possession of commercial spaces without any rental agreement for over five-six decades.

it is only when the tenant has denied the title of landlord, and has not been paying the agreed upon rent, and the landlord continues to do nothing about it, and this period reaches twelve years, that the landlord will face difficulties in securing possession. but it is a technicality and will entirely be based on specific facts and circumstances of each case. This is called adverse possession, and is different from claiming ownership.

to say that staying for over 18 years without any rental agreement will allow the tenant to claim ownership is preposterous.
