No. The only time any information about your new employer would be relevant to your old employer would be if your employment with the new employer violated a contract (eg covenant not to compete) you signed with the old employer.

You don't have a legal obligation to tell your current employer that you are working for someone else unless you signed something stating that you will. Often employers don't want their employees working for their competitors.

If you stole money from an old employer and they find out after you left can they tell your current employer?

Legally, your old employer can report the theft to the authorities, but they generally would not have the authority to directly inform your current employer. However, if the theft resulted in legal action and it became public knowledge, it is possible that your current employer could find out through other means, such as background checks or media coverage.

Is it right to tell interview that you filed a labor case against your previous employer?

Don't tell them. That's not something they have a right or obligation to know. All they are obligated to know is that you used to work at a particular job. In fact, if you tell them your work history and consent to them calling a previous employer all they can legally ask is if you used to work there. It will just look bad if you bring up dirt on any previous employer.
