Whether the particular employee is a workman or not, termination without following the principles of natural justice is illegal.
If he is a workman under the ID Act, 1947, he can raise a dispute under Section 2-A(1) of the Act before the conciliation officer for the area.
If he belongs to the supervisory cadre with a salary exceeding Rs. 10,000 per month, he can file a civil suit for breach of the contract of employment and claim damages from the management.

Dear Colleague,
The high-handed and unilateral act of termination on the part of the plant head deserves to be condemned. The HR team should approach the plant head and impress upon the illegality of the action. Also, bring to the notice of the top decision-maker. This is in addition to knocking on the legal doors available as advised by other learned colleagues.
