Dear Rajeev,
A company can terminate the service of an employee for misconduct which may include chatting during office hours with an outsider. However, while terminating for misconduct, the company has to issue charge sheet, conduct enquiry and only on the basis of report of the enquiry officer the company can terminate the employee. If the company does not follow the procedure, then the entire termination becomes bad in law. For you condition, your termination is bad in law and you are still under employment if you wish to challenge such termination.
Depending on your salary and tenure of service, you are also entitled to other benefits including statutory benefits, if you accept the illegal termination. Please consult a labour lawyer with all your documents for better result.
