Dear All,
First of all I would like to thank you all to go through my post.
I wanted to know that is it correct to initiate stop pay for an employee without any warning or notice. And is it right to initiate stop pay just next to the day of leave end period and giving warning on reporting during the leave period of employee.?

Dear Agarwal,
You need to give more details of the case. Are you involved in this case? If yes, in what capacity? Why company wants to withhold disbursement of wages? Has employee conducted any misconduct? If yes, rather than conducting enquiry, or issuing the show cause notice, why company want to put on hold his salary? What will be achieved by doing this?
Outright withholding of payment is illegal. Company may suspend an employee pending enquiry. But in that case also company has to pay subsistence allowance as per the rules. Salary is legitimate earning of an employee. Before disbursal of these legitimate dues, since these are with the employer, he cannot use it as bargaining tool. For further queries, feel free to contact me.
