The Delhi High Court has ruled that Wipro must pay Rs 2 lakh to a former employee due to defamatory comments in the relieving letter. The court directed Wipro to issue a new letter without damaging statements that could harm the employee’s career. The original letter contained malicious remarks about the employee’s conduct, impacting his professional integrity. The court emphasized the importance of removing such remarks to safeguard the employee’s reputation and professional prospects. Additionally, the ruling highlighted the need for businesses to ensure fair and respectful communication with departing employees to avoid potential legal consequences.
