Removal from service

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 30 January 2012 This query is : Resolved 
My younger brother was working with a govt insurance company as Administrative Officer (engg). According to service contract he had to serve the company for 4 years. otherwise in the event of resignation ,termination he had to pay one years gross salary as a liquidity damages to the company and this amount could be proportionaly reduced with the length of service in the company. He didnot like the job profile and wanted to leave. After one and half year serving the company he became very much depressed .sudeenly at that time his mother fell ill seriously due to brain haeommorage. Due to that painful situation in negligence and hasty he resigned from the services of the company. After serving for 19 months he had submitted his resignation mentioning with immediate effect in duplicate to his dept as well as to HR deptt .He also mentioned in the resignation letter that he may be intimated about bond money due. After that he came home to look after his mother. after two months when he came out of depression he felt that he made wrong decision of resigning from the company so he wrote a letter to DGM(HR) about give him a chance to join in the company again and pl donot accept his resign.But after that company send him a chargesheet mentioning his unauthorised absence from duty. He replied that he had submitted his resignation so didnot start action against him. But the company started disciplinary actions. He wrote many times to the Enquiry officer to give him a chance to join again.He also participated in the hearing. But after that company removed him from the services on charge of unauthorised absence for more than 90 days.
After this company has demanded bond amount otherwise warns of legal actions. He has appealled to higher authorities against this removal order which is undecided yet.
