It has been given to understand from the previous lines of the member who is in this tragedy and having been admitted that he has done a mistake and seeking for help, there is no point in discussing the acts like a Court or a Tribunal.
A suggestion or help is being asked to get himself relieved from the mistake being committed. Think of the situation, he is being asked to pay Rs 50,000 which is not a small amount.
So, it is better not to make him more panic, and point various law points favourable for employer, its a request to give suggestions to the member, not to the employer, if i m right.
Secondly, the member need not have to worry at all even a strong point is there, as he has not resigned or informed of his unwillingness towards continuing the job, its the company who terminated the service, SO NOTHING TO WORRY, AND IT IS SUGGESTED NOT TO PAY THE AMOUNT.
If continues, can be taken to the courts of law.
