If the employee was terminated for unacceptable/improper behavior, the company is not bound to issue a positive experience certificate.
At most, the employer may issue a service certificate (as per Shops & Establishments Act in some states) that simply states:
"Mr./Ms. X worked with us from [date] to [date] as [designation]."
The reason for termination need not be mentioned unless required for internal records or disciplinary proceeding.
Issue a relieving/service certificate mentioning only dates and designation, to avoid future disputes.
You can decline issuing an experience letter with performance comments, since the short tenure and misconduct do not warrant it.

In such a scenario as stated by you, the employee might have been on probation for a specific period, where no releiving / experience letter is required to be issued, recheck appointment letter.
