Q: How do I know if someone is blacklisted or banned in the UAE?

Q: Dear Sir, I worked in the UAE from 2009 until the middle of 2011. My company terminated me but they did not pay me the indemnity and the salary for the notice period. I wanted to leave the country that I could not stay there long without employment. Finally, I left without getting the dues and also without cancelling the residence. I filed a case at DIFC after I left the country and DIFC court made a verdict in my favour to pay AED 50000/-. However, the company filed an absconding case and as well another fake police case that I picked up some of the company files against me. I came to know about these cases when I checked with the authorities through another source later when I was planning to come to Dubai for another employment. Please note now it has been 7 years since I left the country, and I would like to know whether any of this cases may be still valid. And how can I clear myself out from this fabricated case? I would be grateful for your valuable advice. Thank you.

Q: I want to check if I'm blacklisted in Dubai. I have been there from 2006 to 2010.
