If they terminate you on that reason you can file case against them for wrongful termination and damages.
Wrongful termination
Hi I need to ask on the wrongful termination. I was working with a company as Department Manager, there was a audit going at store in night. Where me and my fellow collegue who is also a department manager saw a donation box which was kept at cash counter in broken condition, by seeing this so no one else pick money from there, we took money from there and placed at other place with sealing it. About this incidence all the 5-6 employees who were standing there we informed. We took around rs.800. All of these were already been shared to all staff who were present there. But all of sudden they called us in office and terminated me and kept all my salary on hold. Whereas the other person who was there they have not done anything to him. Now the situation is I was in my notice period and have only 1 week left. So just as to target me they have terminated me and have hold on my salary. When I have told that they may even check with all the staff who were there in night all are knowledgeable, but they refused to ask them and have terminated me. I would like to ask can I file any case against them in such condition, and would like to know the cost which need to be bear on this entire process. As I have all evidence and proofs which can prove that i wasn't guilty. Kindly guide on this hiw to go for this . And the total cost gonna take for this process in court.

If you feel that your termination is not in order and illegal , you may file a writ petition before high court for reinstatement.

The lawyer you may propose to engage would be able to let you know all these details since it would differ from one lawyer to another.
Hello,
A lawyer will charge you around 20 thousand for filing a case.
Also if they enter into compromise after receiving the notice then the same will be resolved within a month, otherwise the same might take 2-3 years
Send them a legal notice before starting the legal process
The court fees is negligible but lawyer fee may vary from person to person. Can't be estimated.
Dear Sir,
If you file Writ Petition it may cost between Rs. 50,000 to 2,00,000/- depending upon the Advocate you select. If you select high profile advocate there are more chances of winning.
