resignation from the said Institute. Our Client has completed 6 years of
continuous service at Nandi Institute of Technology and Management

categorically agreed to the payment being made either in cash or by an
open or crossed bank cheque. It was also further mentioned in this

settle the matter amicably with Nandi Institute of Technology and

regarding the payment of the same. It is due to the lack of a response from
your end that our client is left with no other alternative but to call upon
you by way of this Legal Notice, requesting for the gratuity amount to be
released in her favour.

7. In the event that our client does not receive a prompt response from your
end regarding the release of the gratuity amount in her favour we will be
constrained to initiate necessary legal proceedings against you. Hence,
this legal notice has been issued accordingly.
