You can not resort to termination simplicitor once inquiry proceedings have been launched or for that matter even if the allegations of misconduct have been made against him. The discharge this way is only a punishment veiled as termination simplicitor. If however it is not possible to hold inquiry, you can terminate the services and prove the misconduct before the industrial court.

The aided educational institutions are covered under the standard code/university statutes in that state and there are detailed procuderal rules provided therein. There is no provision in grant in aid to part with an emplyee by paying six months salary as the state govt. will not considre it for grant in aid. The institution has to follow the prescribed rules of inquiry by suspendint the emplyee first and conducting local inquiry and take action according to the local inquiry committee (the Presiding Officer) after giving equal oppurtunity of hearing to the said emplyee.
