Time limit to sue employer in case of termination

I was working in a private college for more than 7 years. The college terminated my job on 10th October 2013. The reason mentioned in the letter was poor admission. Some of my colleague still working there .

  Can I sue the employer now?

 Poor admission is not mentioned as reason for termination in my appointment letter.

Teachers are not covered by thedef. of 'Workman' as in ID Act.

You may have a limitation of 3 years.

 

Approach a very able counsel specializing in service matters with all docs for a considered opinion.

Hope you shall take this post positively.

 

In other thread initiated by you, you have posted that;

 

"My brother worked for a private engineering college for 8 years. His job was terminated for poor admission in the college."

 

It was your brother that was terminated due to poor admission and not you.

 

Neverthless the limitation that was discussed in other thread was for Gratuity and not 'Termination order'.

Yes.You are right. It was my brother. But does it matter whether me or my brother?

That question was regarding gratuity limitation.

Thank you very much .

Thanks for clarifying and welcome.

Please clarify

why there is such limitation?

After all something illegal today is always illegal.

After limitation is over no case can be filed in this regard?

Approach a very able counsel specializing in service matters ASAP with all docs for a considered opinion.

 

The local counsel can also appraise you if there is recourse/tribunals  in your state for teachers as in some states e.g;

Haryana, 

for redressing the grievances of employees of aided and unaided institutions who are subjected to punishment or termination from service.....

Your  able counsel that has examined all docs and inputs on record can advise you the best.

In case of  employee covered by the def. of 'Workman' there is no limitation to approach the tribunal, however the delay has to be explained to the satisfaction of tribunal.
