The terms of my appointment confirmation mentioned only that 'I' have to give a notice of 3 months before resigning or salary in lieu of the same. However, it did not mention anything about the applicability of the same clause on the employer. My employer has terminated my services on the very day I served him 3 months notice without there being any charge against me. Is he bound to give me a salary of 3 months?

If such condition is not mentioned in the appointment letter, he is not bound to give notice. but you can challenge the termination on other ground and claim compensation and damages for illegal termination.
