These employees had requested for their salary increment after three years of continued service with the organisation.College management didn't consider their request and decided to terminate them.Please note that these employees had given +20 lakhs rupees deposit to get this job and the management had offered them salary as per govt college pay scale.
what to do sir?

If there is any written contract then it can be got executed through civil court but because the institution is self financed so there is no scope for the reinstatement in service.

It has not been specified as to what are the terms and conditions of the employment and what proof thereof the employees have. Similarly it has not been spelt out what proof the employees have about the deposit of +20 lakhs rupees.
A self-financed college is a college owned by private entities (individuals, societies etc.) and as such employment therein is purely a contract and the employees can only sue for compensation for breach of contract and not for re-instatement in the absence of any specific contract or legislation particularly applicable to such institution(s).
