Compensation and defamation case against private bank

Matter ; Private Bank removed its employee by taking resignation under pressure as there was a complaint against the bank employee by bank customer. Employee was removed from service on same day of resignation and not giving 90 days notice period as per Service Rules. After that employee moved to Civil Court where he get 90 days notice period salary with interest but as he was removed from service in very inappropriate way so did not get job. Mean while employee manage to get inquiery report of bank on basis of which employee was threaten to leave bank. Enquiry report was in favour of employee and in conclusion inverstigation officer written that compliantant fail to provide supportive evidance in support of charges frames against employee. Now due to age factor and in appropriate way of sacking employee is in rolling stone position and his carrier spoil.

Remedies : Kindly suggest me that can he move his case under compensation and defamation against bank in Civil/High Court

Yes, he can file suit for defamation and compensation against bank in civil court. 

Moreover,  he can file writ petition in high court for his wrongful removal from job.

Yes. He can move to High Court for his reinstation into service.

If the departmental inquiry has not found him guilty and given a clean chit, then he can proceed against the bank legally for desired relief.

The facts posted are confusing and contradictory, wherein you have stated, inter alia, that,

"...Employee was removed from service on same day of resignation and not giving 90 days notice period as per Service Rules............."
