Dear Anonymous,
You can terminate an apprentice under legal notice to that apprentice staff by asking for explanation through letter or in-person. After that explanation, if you found that is not valid, you can terminate him by issuing termination letter.
Under apprentice act 1961, TERMINATION OF APPRENTICESHIP CONTRACT by one of the following or all . –
(1) The contract of apprenticeship shall terminate on the expiry of the period of apprenticeship training.
(2) Either party to a contract of apprenticeship may make an application to the Apprenticeship Adviser for the termination of the contract, and when such application is made, shall send by post a copy thereof to the other party to the contract.
(3) After considering the contents of the application and the objections, if any, filed by the other party, the Apprenticeship Adviser may, by order in writing, terminate the contract if he is satisfied that the parties to the contract or any of them have or has failed to carry out the terms and conditions of the contract and that it is desirable in the interests of the parties or any of them to terminate the same
