I was terminated without notice from my job in Chandigarh — what legal remedies are available?

Termination without notice is challengeable under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, and the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, depending on your category of employment in Chandigarh. A workman can raise an industrial dispute under Section 2-A for retrenchment without compensation or notice. The matter is referred to the labour court or the Punjab and Haryana High Court in appropriate cases. Your employer must also comply with Chandigarh Rent Control Act 1973 governing the Chandigarh Shops and Establishments Act regarding notice periods. A civil suit for damages or reinstatement can also be filed. Approach the labour commissioner for conciliation before litigation.
