Hi

What is the reason for termination and whether disciplinary process followed properly?

Even after clearing FFS why employee is challenging the company?

If termination is for misconduct whether employee accepted his mistake? Any apology letter took from the employee?

Where the dismissal was due to misconduct against superiors, it was legally necessary to follow the principles of natural justice in taking punitive action. It appears the process was not followed. So, in the event of the employee challenging the punishment in a court of law, engage a good advocate, experienced in labour law matters to defend the company. It is advised that in replying to such a petition, list out all the misdeeds and specifically seek an opportunity to prove the misconduct on merits before the court. If the same is done properly you will be able to emerge scathfree from this.

Hi,
First of all, what is the category of that employee? Is he a workman or a n executive. If a workman, for any misconduct, the disciplinary procedure should have been followed i.e. issue of show cause notice, reply from workman (if he gives), issue of enquiry notice, conducting the domestic enquiry as per procedure duly following the principles of natural justice, after receiving the enquiry report, issue of second show cause notice, after getting explanation, issue the final dismissal order. These procedures are very important to be followed.
If he files a petition before the Conciliation Officer, you can file a reply statement and the Conciliation Officer will send a failure report after hearing both the parties. The workman will have option to raise an industrial dispute under Sec.2A of the ID Act. You can then engage an Advocate and defend the case. Keep the record properly and identify the witnesses to be examined if the dispute goes to the court.
