1. It is not clear whether you had given any written presentation for leave and the same was granted in writing as well.

2. if not then the management can very well take plea of unauthorised leave to suit their objective of cutting manpower.

3. if there is written proof then the termination is illegal and you can challenge it in civil court.

4. Since such remedy is both time taking and not so cost effective you should thin twice on filing the civil suit.

5. So amicable settlement and honourable quitting with compensation is best found solution for you .

6. To rod the management to settle the dispute with you, send them a legal notice.

The termination can be challenges before the labour court and the reinstatement can be prayed as you got the authorised leaves and further the employer could have deducted salary for period or have issued a show cause but direct termination without notice is illegal.

issue a legal notice engage a labour court lawyer and can contest the termination.

Hello,

Send then a legal notice for illegal termination and later file a case in labor court for the same.

1. Unless the leave was sanctioned in writing it is an unauthorised leave.

2. If you have any evidence to prove that your leave for 29th was not unauthorised then you can challenge your termination as illegal and arbitrary in the court, else accept it and seek the full and final settlement from the employer.

This is my response to you:

1. Send them a formal letter asking about the leave policy and such wrongful termination is not fair;

2. Send a legal notice through a lawyer and demand explanation;

3. If they still do not retract their resignation order then file a complaint to the labour court.

You can issue a legal notice instructing them to reinstate you since the termination order and the reasons for termination is illegal and unacceptable to you.

You may state that you have evidence for the approved leave and also you may state that the decision to terminate you is contrary to the provisions of law and also against the conditions of the employment offer letter.

If there is no response or if they dont comply with the demands made then you may file a writ of mandamus petition before high court seeking the relief of reinstatement and other reliefs.

Whether they are stopping you from attending the office ? if so then immediately file an application of illegal termination before the ALC of the area and see What will be the out come because now it has become popular among employers to terminate verbally so you have to fight with them. If you see that nothing is coming out from the conciliation then file immediately a Writ before Hon'ble High Court alleging illegal termination, you will get the relief.

Hi Namita,

Here you have to check the employment agreement which you have signed at the time of joining the company. And you may have to copy of the same. So kindly go through the terms & conditions plus all clauses of the employment.

Plus you can't force or take any legal action against company as you were on probation period and you have take 3 days leaves.
