Dear Seniors,
Ours is a PSU organization. An employee was appointed in the year 1990, and at that time, he had produced his matriculation certificate. Subsequently, based on his submission of the SSC certificate, he received promotions and other benefits. Recently, before granting further benefits, his SSC certificate was sent to the issuing authority for verification. The company received a verification report stating that the certificate submitted by Mr. XYZ is forged and fake, duly signed by the board authority.
Upon receiving the verification report, the concerned employee was immediately charged and a domestic inquiry was conducted. Despite being given ample opportunity, the employee did not participate in the inquiry. Eventually, the Enquiry Officer submitted a report confirming the charges against the employee. Following the company's rules and standing orders, the employee was terminated/dismissed from service. The employer also withheld his gratuity, citing the seriousness of the misconduct, which falls under moral turpitude.
The employee in question filed a lawsuit before the RLC(C), and the RLC(C) ruled in favor of the employee, directing the employer to pay the gratuity with interest. Now, the employer intends to appeal before the Appellate authority. Could you please advise on the procedure for filing an appeal and if there is a statutory format for the appeal?
Kindly assist.
