please tell what can be the safest procedure to terminate an employee in a private limited company.
Can we terminate him directly by assigning a reason or we have to give him a chance to reply on the show cause notice and then decide?
please explain.

You can terminate him directly by assigning the reasons.
You can also give chance to reply to your show cause notice.

The way of termination is "removal from service" or "dismissal". In this case, a misconduct has to be attributed to the employee. First if any complaint received from co-worker/superior against the particular person explanation to be called for if it is not satisfactory, charge sheet has to be issued and domestic enquiry has to be conducted, where the employee should be given full opportunity to prove his innocence. If he fails to prove a 2nd Show Cause Notice to be issued and dismissal order can be.
or
That removal from service or retrenchment just giving one month notice when there is defeciency of raw material/orders to execute the work or loss "Last come first go" policy to be adopted without assigning reason before termination is illegal, even though the terms of appointment mentions this method and the courts would set aside such terminations.

Hire and Fire policy is not applicable in your case as the employer is a Pvt. Ltd. Co.
It is better to follow either the standing order of the company or the terms of the appointment in such cases otherwise his reinstatement with back wages can be made. Do not make hurry and follow the procedure.

If he/she is on probation period then you can discharge him/her on a simpliciter order,otherwise you have to hold an enquairy of major punishment and if he/she is held guilty in tjat proceedings then a termination order could be passed against him/her.
