First of all, if employer has not issued any appointment letter, then he can not demand any notice pay and can not deduct any amount form your full & final payment. In this situation , you have received a termination massage by SMS, pleases confirm the mobile no and intimate to the employer that if he will not pay the termination related benefits i.e notice pay etc., you well fill a complaint in the Labour Office , since your case will be govern by state Shop & commercial Act and Industrial Dispute Act.
In any circumstances your last employer can not fill any complaint at the police station and police will not able to take any action for recovery of notice pay or salary.

As to the legality within the Indian system of law, I'll let others comment. My comment is focused more on the quality of the employer that would terminate an employee by SMS.
Several years ago, I wrote--in this forum, I believe--about the morality of any company that would terminate an employee by email. Now, it seems we have progressed to termination via SMS.
Terminations are events that should be conducted personally, by a supervisor, in a setting where the full explanation and next steps should be explained.
When the subordinate leaves the setting, there should be no question in his or her mind as to 1) the reason for the termination, 2) the next steps in the procedure, and 3) what expectations both parties have about severing the relationship.
Those issues certainly aren't covered by an SMS message stating:
UR FIRED. HAVE A NICE DAY.

Dear all
It seems to me that appointment itself was not a valid one. However, I understand no action can be taken against him, how will this incident affect his future attempts to find a job. Nowadays companies do reference checks and this employer can make some difficulties! And how should be the approach of this person when searching for the job.
Grateful for the views on this.

Dear,
Dont Worry!!!! The company can not take the legal action against you. Further they can not reduce the salary like this.
Morever the SMS termination is not allowed in the LAW.
Its better that you search a better job and leave the company where the professionalism is not followed.
For the SMS issue, you can talk to your company HR and tell them i also know the LAW.
But dont spoil ur relations with the company officials.

If you are threatening someone, SMS is a valid proof.
If you are appointing someone or terminating someone...more so when you have not received proper offer or appointment letter...SMS is not a legally accepted proof.
