Service Certificate Mandatory Under Maharashtra RUTP Act | Bond Breach Does Not Justify Withholding : Bombay HC

Bombay HC rules that employers cannot withhold service certificates or relieving letters under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, even if an employee breaches a training bond. However, the employee remains liable for liquidated damages as per the bond agreement, ensuring a balance between contractual obligations and employment rights.
