There is no legal complication in terminating a protected workman for charges of misconduct provided the charges are proved in the enquiry. Section 33(3) of the Industrial Disputes Act only provides that while a dispute is pending conciliation before a conciliation officer or labour court or tribunal, he should not be terminated for his involvement in that dispute. The Act also provides that termination or transfer can be made after taking approval from the conciliation machinery under whom the dispute is being heard.

Dear Mr. Mahesh,
Industrial Disputes Act covered these provisions. You may go through and related case laws and this will provide to good understanding.
