Hi Monika joshi,
There won't be any sacking and firing policy. If it is a Factory then your certified standing orders / Model standing orders. As per the terms and conditions of your appointment letter
The sacking and Hiring shall be on two counts - indicipline & non performance
Indicipline - on indiscipline part you have to issue charge sheet organize enquiry and if proved then you can terminate / punish
Non - performance: Give the targets / monitor / communicate / issue performance improvement plan / evaluate on monthly basis / evaluate and still not meeting the expectations / ask for resignation / if not ready / terminate.
on all the terminations / sacking / firing you should be very careful - most of the times when employee approaches labour department or proceeds legally it back fires and you need to reinstate him with back wages which shall be a suicidal effect to the organization.

Hi Monica
Sacking / Firing Policy!!! LOL....
Why would you have a policy for firing / sacking unless you are really wanting to do it on a regular basis... Dont even get into it. Every organization has a code of conduct and performance expectations. Your policy should mention that failure to follow the code of conduct or meet performance expectations could result in Termination of employment.
Your Sacking / firing policy must form a part of a broader "Termination of Employment" clause / policy.
Also please understand what kamesh has rightly mentioned. Policy are formed by the HR / management but they must be Vetted by your legal expert. ALL policies are Legal rules that can be challenged in the court of law.
Cheers
