Dear Seniors,
An employee is terminated form his services, stating that reference to clause that employer is ready to pay the three months of salary as per the terms and conditions of appointment letter.
Termination letter is sent through the mail with attached back dated latter.
Before this email of termination, no written communication has happened, this was the sudden decision. the employee is the junior most person in hierarchy.
Now question is that can employee ask the reason of termination that in which ground he has been terminated without any kind of inquiry/communication. can he file a legal suite against the employer?

what is your designation in company ?
your employer is fair enough in providing you 3 months salary in lieu of notice period . indian industry is in doldrums . hence employers want to reduce their overheads . in such cases last employee is genrally the first one asked to leave
This is the case of one of my friend he is Assistant Manager - Technical in a well known MNC.
But he has been issued a termination in sudden as he still dont know why he has been terminated, it can make a worse effect on his career.

Better see the terms of his appointment, as included in the offer letter. That must be containing the provision that the employer would be free to terminate the services without notice by payment of salary of three months in lieu of notice period.

Go through the terms and conditions of the appointment letter, if any clause violated send letter to company. Search new job.
