Dear Questioner,

Thank you for contacting me.

I assume that you have filed the labour case and all the labour claims as per the labour law have been filed in which you are awarded a favourable judgment.

If you want to file a compensation case against your employer [which you have not claimed under labour case], you have all the rights to file it under the civil court. I hope you have sufficient proof to ask for compensation.

If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Thank You.

Regards,
