"I did talk to the Head of the DzineDepartment about this who is related to the GM about my rights and he said consider this done, he will talk to the HR as well as the GM."
Good. Still prepare your details so you have your facts ready and can defend yourself if need be.

Addition - You said that you got a positive answer from the GM when you presented your resignation. Do you have this on record? Acknowledgment? If not written, verbal will also do. What time, what date, who was present? If HR does not take a proactive approach, then go to the labour dept with all these details. Your matter should be able to be worked out amicably.
Qualified as above - I am assuming that you did nothing to justify the GM in his latest actions. Please don't take offense at my reservations - but I don't believe anything I hear blindly, whether or not you are a friend. Take care.
Depends on your contract and provided you didn't do anything that justifies your GM terminating you earlier - eg. if you have access to any confidential information that you might copy and take with you to a competitor, etc.
"then just now the HR tell me that the GM wants you to leave at the end of this month in 3 DAYS and he will pay you just this month!!!!!CAN HE DO THIS????"
- GENERALLY - No. He must pay you up to 22 April 2009. If he wants you to leave earlier for the possible security reasons stated above - ok but still he should pay you up to the date he confirmed earlier.
Suggest you inform your HR that you will go to the Labour Dept, give them a time frame and see what they say by the end of tomorrow. They probably wouldn't want to have a written record of this in the Labour Dept and you wouldn't want to be nasty to them, would you? What goes around, comes around some day and that works both ways.
Do not make emotional decisions - you will regret it later. Take this one step at a time - HR first.
Go to Labour Dept and approach them with you case
and tell them your problems with the Co. They may
solve your problems with justice....
