Dear All,
Pl understand that termination is not a perticular way of ending service contract of any kind.
All means by which a service contract comes to an end is termination. For example: Discharge, Dismissial, Retenchment, End of fixed term contract, Non renewal of contract etc. All these are termed as termination. Termination is not always negetive. If it is inflicted as a punishment its negetive else not.
Raja, taking your example i would say this way, in the first example service came to an end due to non renewal of contract and in the second example service came to an end due to dismissial.
Hence, termination in itself is not a mean by which service contarct ends.
Regards,
Nilendra
