You would be required to file a complaint against the company because this is in clear violation of the recent circulars and other Ordinance issued by the Government whereby no employee can be terminated during the Lockdown period. Issue a legal notice through a lawyer or you may contact the team at Instalegal as a similar plea is pending before the Supreme Court wherein a PIL has been filed for taking strict action against such employers who are not following the directives given by the Government in the form of the notifications under section 51 and 58 of the NDMA Act.
You can file a complaint against the co. For shunted you out from the job during the lockdown as its violation of directives issued by the central govt. Secondly you can file a case before the labour court against the company as they have not give you one month notice prior to termination from service
