1) reinstatement would not be possible 

 

2) management is bound to pay you compensation as per terms of your appointment letter 

 

3) terms of appointment letter are sacrosanct

1. In private sector there is no beneficial legislation like Industrial Dispute Act or Labour Act which cavers disputes pf this sort and render all possible assistance to the retrenched workmen for reinstatement.

2. Since you are not governed under wither f these Acts , your remedy lies only in civil suit wherein you can challenge the termination and seek mandatory injunction of your reinstatement.

3. If you succeed in the suit you would certainly get such reliefs but considering the time taken and avenues of challenge available it is hardly resorted to by the disgruntled employees.

1. Yes.

2. Challenge it before the Hon'ble High Court because to protect Fundamental Rights the Indian Constitution, under Articles 32 and 226, provides the right to approach the Supreme Court or High Court, respectively, to any person who’s Fundamental Right has been violated.

3. This is ridiculous when you will not get the relief of reinstatement then it means you have not succeeded in proving your case before the court so what compensation can claim , nothing.

4.No formula , calculate your perks for the intervening period from the date of termination to the date of reinstatement.

Workmen category employees only can approach labour court. 

Other than workmen category can not go to labour court. They are to file suit in civil court.

Reinstatement is possible where service is terminated wrongfully. Compensation can also be claimed in addition if there is loss or damages or harassment to the employees.

The managment has to follow the due process of law.For workers and employees the law is strict and they can go to labour Court.For supervisory persons they will have to go to Civil Court.The maxim "wherever there is a right there will be a remedy " will strictly apply.

For an unjustified termination of employment in a private company,  you may have to approach high court with a writ petition seeking reinstatement of your job. 

Since you don't come under workman category you may have to approach high court only for relief and remedy.
