You are entitled to Gratuity and also the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 and the Payment of Bonus 1965 could be applicable in your case.

As far as the Court is concerned, firstly raise the issue in written with your employer and then you can approach the labor court (if you are a workmen) or civil court (if you are an employee other than a workmen).

Since you have mentioned that you are in Chief Manager Grade, your dismissal can be challenged  in the civil court and the company is liable to pay you the benefits and  damages/compensation also

Your employment in the private company is governed by your employment agreement. In case of wrongful termination by your company you cannot claim your job back but you can claim for compensation. You can start by sending a legal notice through a lawyer and claim for compensation. If the company fails to respond to the legal notice then you can file a civil suit for recovery of your dues and compensastion

If you are terminated using illegal means,  you first issue a legal notice demanding reason for the same. 

After that you can approach high court with a writ petition seeking relief and remedy.

If at all there were any complaint against you for such financial irregularities, the company should have followed due process of by conducting inquiry, giving you show cause notice and initiate disciplinary action as per rules and regulations.

Termination of employment without enquiry is illegal and arrogance besides not respecting law of the land.

You have strong grounds for filing a writ petition seeking reinstatement and other reliefs.

You may proceed with the help of a service law practicing lawyer.
