If suspension pending enquiry is as per approval of the Conciliation officer/ Labour court, then the same can be continued until permission to dismiss is received. During suspension, the employee should be paid subsistence allowance as per State Act with respect to payment of Subsistence allowance. In the absence of separate Act, you can pay 50% of salary for the first 90 days and then increase it to 75% for the rest of the period. In States like Kerala there is a provision for 100% pay for the period beyond 180 days.

The management can terminate the employee, if the domestic inquiry finished and found guilty against the misconduct.
But at present your management can't do anything as because has taken wrong route for filing up the case in the High court. The court will not allow to terminate too. You need to pay 50% of salary for the first 90 days and then 75% for the rest of the period. Check your state rules for payment of sustenance allowance.
