Can an employer file an absconding case against an employee after termination?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Can an employer file an absconding case against an employee after they have terminated the employee from their contract and canceled the employee’s visa?

The employee is on the last day of his grace period and will be paying fines effective tomorrow as he has not been able to renew it due to personal circumstances.

Dear Questioner,

Employers can still file absconding cases against terminated employees during their visa grace period.

However, the success of such a case is unlikely and might raise legal concerns due to the termination and grace period context.

It will be better to take a visit visa during the period until you find a job rather than paying fines.
