Labor case and counter criminal case filed by the employer

My Ex-boss gave me a General POA. He personally owes me AED 300,000 and 12 months of salary as well. One fine day he left the country.

I had to file a labour case to get my visa cancelled. Later, the boss told me to take one of his cars (in his personal name) and transfer it to my name and adjust the value of it (AED 25,000) to his personal loan that he owes me.

Now, I won my labour case against him and the execution is in process. He has filed a criminal case against me claiming I took the car without his consent.

He is doing this through a lawyer as he is not in the country for a year. Will this criminal case affect me? How can I prove my innocence?

Dear Questioner,

I am sorry to hear about your situation.

You have not mentioned whether the car transfer has actually been taken place or not.

If it has actually been taken place, there cannot be any criminal charge against you and your case will not get affected by that.

You have not mentioned when the judgement was drawn in favour of you. You may file execution if the same has been drawn before more than 30 days.

If you need assistance regarding execution or criminal matter, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.

Regards,

Dear Ma'am,

Many thanks for your kind advice.

The car is already transferred into my name using the General POA.

I have already won my labour case against the company and the execution is in process.

Now, my Boss (through his lawyer) has filed a case against me that the transfer of car was done without his permission (he gave me the permission verbally - over the phone).

The prosecution has forwarded a file to Dubai Police and the police have taken my statement and that of a witness as well (Witness in my favour).

I'm worried if a criminal case will be opened against me.
