Termination

You still have to hold an inquiry and prove violations of standing orders to punish the employee. If the employee is acquited of the offence in court of law, termination of service san an inquiry shall be denial of natural justice. Ifa proper inquiry is held and the employee is found guilty then termination of service shall be justified irrespective of whether the criminal court absolves him of the charges. The standard of proof in a domestic inquiry is not as rigid as required in a criminal trial.

sir, The company a school managed by trust want to terminate staff working since last 4 years.what is the safest way/process.

You mean staff as teachers only ? Or other staff too? In case of other staff, deemed to be workmen under the Industrial Disputes Act, section 25 F of the Act would apply. Teachers are not workmen. The state's local act would have to be seen in connection with employment of teachers.

A person can not be dismissed only due to the reason that he has been booked U/S 302 I.P.C. The truth of allegations is yet to be tested in court of law. A departmental proceeding may at best be initiated against the employee and that too after giving him proper opportunity to show cause.He may then be kept in suspension if his explanation is not found to be satisfactory.The verdict of the court is to be awaited for. Dismissal of the employee depends on the judgment of the court.
