I served as Professor for 11 years with an SFI degree engineering college approved by AICTE, affiliated to GTU, Ahmedabad.
During, 2014, I had to undergo hip joint surgery and remained on sick leave for postoperative treatment forabout 5 months. Meanwhile, during sick leave, received a show cause notice from college with numerous baseless allegations about my integrity, regularity, exam duties, bevahiour etc. I was asked to reply within 10 days. I replied and denied all charges and challenged to prove. But, there was no reply.
During September 2014, after obtaining fitness certificate, I approached the College management for joining my duty. But I was asked accept all charges and to apologise in writing. I didn't succumb to their pressure. Hence, I was verbally terminated by the Chairman.
Then I pursued the management to pay me 3 months notice pay, 6th CPC arrears, experience and releaving certificate, no due certificate etc. But nothing was entertained.
Then I approached State educational Tribunal for various dues and compensation for forcefully retiring me 2 years ahead of retirement age.
The case is still going on. My major query is whether my verbal termination after challenging the show cause notice is stigmatic or not?
