H1b filing and stamping fees

[sbh]

My India employer filed H1b visa for me to work from their US office. Later for some reason the project could not take off and I was not sent to the US.

It's been a year now and I am still in India. Now I have resigned from my job and do not want to travel any further. Company has never asked me to sign any document/bond when visa was filed. They are now asking me to pay visa processing fees incurred by them last year. Can employee be forced for H1b visa fees if he/she has not been given a chance to travel? Can employee take this with DOL? If not, who can help in India?

I would think this is a matter for Indian Law and the USA is not involved.
