The record has nothing to do with the misconduct of the labour and his dismissal on this ground.
You should properly file the reply to the application filed by him and should take the firm stand thereon but if the matter is referred to LC even then do not lose your mental order. The case shall go to Labour Court which may take 6/7 years and no unemployed labour can generally bear such long litigation hence the matter may be presumed to be decided.
