Can late sitting in Office be justifiable ground on late coming?

Late sitting in the office is no excuse or justification for coming late in
the morning. It is a matter of discipline and HR Dept/Employer must handle it firmly.

Please check the relevance of late sitting of such people in the
office.

Employer has a right to insist on regular and punctual attendance of
an employee which is an implied condition of employment. Late attendance is
a kind of absece from duty. Though casual late attendance may not be treated as a serious misconduct but where an employee was late for more than 6 time in a year and yet persisted in his late attendance, his dismissal on this
account is justified.
