The President and Chief Operating Officer Mr. G.

The respondent was utilized by his then President for all his personal works like booking air tickets and monthly bills. He also explained about his position to his relieving officer through SMS and also by a letter dated 06.02.2017. While so, on 08.03.2017, the respondent was called by one Mr. Muralidharan, Divisional Manager, HR and asked him to resign from the job on his own, failing which he was threatened that he would be terminated from the service.
