More details to this question:
I was approached by a rival company which gave me a good offer. I shared the same with my colleagues. Immediately one of them shared the same with company manager. Manager called me and promised me a salary increment starting next year if i turn down the rival's offer. I agreed and stayed put. Three months late employees and i was a victim before my promise is met.

Probably nothing. A contract which can't be fulfilled within a year is required to be in writing. Sometimes you can avoid this rule by showing that you acted in reliance on the promise in some way that can't be attributed to anything other than the promise you claim, but remaining in the same job almost certainly wouldn't qualify.
