Meet Dr. Gupta, a renowned doctor at a private hospital in Mumbai. Dr. Gupta is a key witness in a sexual harassment case against the hospital's CEO. The hospital promptly terminates Dr. Gupta's service, citing "gross misconduct". However, Dr. Gupta has no such record and feels her termination is a direct consequence of her testimony. The CEO has a history of intimidation and bullying other employees. What legal remedy will Dr. Gupta be able to take against her employer under the Labour Laws of India? Specifically, can she claim damages under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947?
