DECISION<o:p></o:p>

</div>FACTS: <o:p></o:p>PETITIONER <o:p></o:p>Mr. Amadou Malik Moro,
ex-employee of the High Commission of India, lodged a compliant on 6th
December, 2010, against his former employer, the High Commission of India, for wrongful dismissal. <o:p></o:p>He stated that a
colleague employee called Philomina, had been insulting him without provocation. He reported the behaviour of Philomina to his superior
officer, Mr. S. D. Saharma, but he took no action against Philomina. <o:p></o:p>According to him, Philomina continued to insult him and he could not control his temper
anymore and one day he pushed her. <o:p></o:p>He was dismissed as a
result of misconduct by hitting a woman employee of the Mission, on 4th August,
2008. <o:p></o:p>Respondent: <o:p></o:p>The High Commission
stated in its response that Mr. Amadou Malik Moro was dismissed due to gross
misconduct of hitting a woman employee of the Mission at the Reception of the
Commission in the presence of a witness. The Commission stated that due to the gravity
of the misconduct, it found it prudent to do away with his services. He was,
however, paid a month's pay in lieu of notice. <o:p></o:p>The Facilitation: <o:p></o:p>The National Labour Commission (NLC) invited the parties for facilitation
on 2nd August, 2011. <o:p></o:p>The Petitioner came with
his counsel, Mr. David V. Vandyck.
The Respondent, however, was not
present. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Petitioner ag
