Hello Sagar,
Coming to work drunk is an outright cause for disciplinary action.
However, suggest keep 2 aspects in mind before you initiate any action.
1] The employee concerned should be given a chance to give his version--howsoever it might sound illogical in the face of the evidence you seem to have. Issue a Showcause Notice with a specific timeframe for his response.
2] You mentioned that you used a Breath Analyzer for confirmation. This COULD be disputed. Is the Breath Analyzer verified/calibrated for correctness? I am NOT SURE --but pl check if such a facility/practice exists--like the Legal Metrology Dept in any Govt CERTIFYING the accuracy of all the Weights & Measures used everywhere. This is just to ensure the employee isn't given a chance to take the stand: the Breath Analyzer is defective & readings incorrect. Hope you get the point.
IF you need the legal aspects [under which Clauses of which Act, etc], pl wait for the Legal members to respond.
