Dear Member,
If lawyer appeared in all hearings than it can't be treated as absent from Management. It is a common tool for the management to prolong the case by taking further dates.
What will happen next is depend upon the points raised by you and case history during the prosecution. If you have been appearing in all dates than what discussions held in front of the ALC? What documents the lawyer submitted? What point suggested by the ALC for the next meeting or whether same considered by the lawyer or not?
However, the accurate advice can be given only after knowing the detailed case history. Pls find below some points which you can raised in next hearing.
You can put pressure on the ALC that you are getting harassed for the repeated dates. Also submit "Justice delay is Justice denied". Also point out that you will put another case for the harassment and cost of fighting the case (including conveyance, loss of salary etc.).
If you have huge amount pending with the company than you can also take any lawyer's / Labour Union help, but this will be costly for you.
