I was working in Public sector Unit for more than 5 years. Since the health condition detoriated (liver disorder), I was granted one month paid leave . Further in need of medication I had asked for leave extension, which was not granted by the employer. I want to utilize my medication period to study post graduation . So I had applied for study leave , which was also declined by my employer. They had called me for domestic enquiry which I couldnt able to attend for two times. Further they told an External enquiry would be conducted to decide on future coarse of action. But all of a sudden, they send me a letter stating that I was dismissed from the service. I need to know, whether an employer can dismiss an employee when he is Sick ? Whether an employer can dismiss an employee if he wants to undergo further education as a study leave?
