Verbal termination of employment after challenging show cause notice threatening termination

 Yes, It's fully stigmatic.

If the charges are proved after an enquiry, a punishment under the rules will be given. But without inquiry, they cannot take action.

Many many thanks Sir. Now the problem is how to prove that I was verbally terminated? The Chairman and the trustee who verbally terminated me are no more. The Principal and the Administrative Officer are now no longer employees. So no witness is available to support me.

Ofcourse, I denied in black and white that as the allegations are wrong and also the Management is not able to prove, I will not apologise so I assume that I am verbally terminated and then I asked for relieving letter, notice pay etc. But as I was not relieved in black and white, I could not join other institute in absence of relieving letter. Hence I have claimed two years salary as back wages.

Whatever, you may wait for the disposal of the pending case to decide about pursuing it further through High court if the decision is against you 

Despite the fact termination is "stagmatic", however, the Management has not issued any written order of termination, which will have to follow prescribed procedure for termination. Otherwise, oral order of termination has no value in the eyes of law.

Consult a local prudent lawyer practicing service matters to protect your interest, professional advise and necessary proceeding. 

Already a very experienced lawyer is fighting the case. But State Educational Tribunal, the closest remedy authority has become bottleneck. An old case of 1996 is still being contested. A school Principal's case took 19 years for judgement , by that time he was no more alive to enjoy fruits of his benifits.

Most of the time the Judges and counsellors indulge in asking for dates. After 45 pleadings of my case, now it has entered in Oral Evidence stage in 2 May. 

I approached High Court to issue direction for speedy disposal of the case. High court was kind to issue direction for speedy disposal, so now on 2nd May, oral evidence of petitioner is proposed. Then Oral Evidence of Respondent will be there. By that time, Summer vacation will start.

No doubt it is pathetic to know that your case has been dragged on indefinetly but the facts are to be accepted.

The delay at several stages were justified owing to the circumstances prevailaing at each and every point of time in the past.

You may concentrate in the future hearing properly and conduct the case with the assistance of your experienced and skilled advocate scrupulously. 

I served the Respondent Institute for more than 11 years. Now it is more than 11 years, struggling for dues. At present the case is in State Educational Tribunal. When it comes out from bottleneck, I will have to struggle through two more bottles i.e. High Court and Supreme Court. Looking at the pace and number of pending cases, finally I submitted successive nominees' affidavit to Tribunal with copy to High Court and Supreme Court.

However you have almost reached the finality hence with patience you may endure your fight for justice.
