15 years ago, we removed one of our employees for engaging in unethical activities. On humanitarian grounds, management decided not to pursue any legal action against him.

He has unexpectedly reappeared now, requesting his outstanding balance for one month. The reality is that we have no records of this payment as a significant fire destroyed our office five years ago.

Is there any provision in the law for claiming such old dues?

As per the general law of limitation (Limitation Act 1963), any claim for an unpaid amount has to be made within three years. Since, by the employee's own admission, no claim has been made in the past 15 years, there is no legal need to entertain the claim.
