What is not so simple. Let's just say ur right, for whatever stupid reason the law requires you to withhold salary against someone who committed a crime. But rather than reporting the crime to police, you hire a lawyer. So how is the lawyer supposed to solve the situation so that the staff is able to reclaim his rightful salary (post-deduction of costs). How much sense does that make
The Company then claim that they can't disburse his salary cause have to account for the lawyer fees. But, what was the point of the lawyer in the first place? It is clear they never wanted to amicably solve the issue, but rather to threaten the staff into submission.
Get my point?
what if your other staff found that their belonging lost at a later time?The Company then claim that they can't disburse his salary cause have to account for the lawyer fees.

what if there were other damages that was done but not reported? e.g. window is damaged so it doesnt lock anymore.
what if the other damages done went unnoticed and later cause another incident? e.g. break in due to window doesnt lock
dont forget it is company hostel. company is responsible for it. something goes wrong and ppl can go after the company and hold it liable
as a company what do you do to protect yourself? how to ensure this incident is handled correctly so that there is no loose ends to bite you back?
still you see no importance of engaging lawyer services out side of normal business activities?
if you genuinely answer that no lawyer services is needed then you have not interacted much with ppl
