Is it advisable to withdraw a labour case to cancel visa and avoid ban?
3
Q: I filed a labour case against employer for pending salaries and EOSB, and cancellation of visa. The complaint was transferred to the court now.
I received the link and registered the case against the employer now, which will be heard after 12 days.
My employer is asking me to sign the cancellation and collect my amount but I am not at all satisfied with their offer.
My question is how can I answer them as the matter is in the court already?
Any cancellation now needs to be done through the court, so please advise what shall I reply to them.
Once the file is open, I need to wait for the judgement and then follow up for visa cancellation not before the case is done.
If I do it before and listen to my employer what will the consequences be?
Please advise.

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.

Dear Sir/Madam,
There is an employee who has been absent repeatedly. However, the company is not paying salaries on time, with regular delays in salary payments.
Can the company terminate the employee without end-of-service or notice period compensation if the employee cites occasional salary delays as the reason for their absences?
