the appellant was appointed as Director, Citizen Centre Enterprises, Chennai for a period of 7 months and after 7 months, there was a delay in convening the meeting of Board of Trustees and thereby one month salary was extended. The assignment was only for 7 months Since the actual period was over, the Plaintiff is not entitled to notice and he is not entitled to two months’ salary in lieu of notice. As the contract period is only for 7 months, the Plaintiff is not entitled to get incentive of Rs.2 lakhs. In fact, the incentive is meant for annual incentive and the employee , who has ompleted one year with good performance, is only entitled to incentive. Since the performance of the Plaintiff was not upto the mark, he was terminated within 9 months and therefore, the Plaintiff is not entitled to any relief. Though the Plaintiff is not entitled to 2 months’ notice, one month salary was paid as gratuitous in nature. Therefore, the Plaintiff is not entitled to any relief. However, the Courts below have awarded Rs.1.5 lakhs as one month salary and came to the conclusion that the Plaintiff is entitled to two months’ salary as notice period and since already one month salary was paid, directed the defendant to pay the remaining one month salary. However, the defendant did not prefer any appeal, per contra, the Appellant has preferred the appeal. Therefore, there are no merits in this appeal and there are no substantial questions of law involved in this appeal and therefore, the second appeal is liable to be dismissed.
