What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA

In a disciplinary meeting an aggrieved employee raised an opposing claim. HR told a supervisor twice to get an employee (same job position as aggrieved employee) to attend the meeting to get their side of the story. The supervisor looked for him on 2 occasions but claimed that he couldn't find the employee. Nevertheless, the aggrieved employee was terminated.

May liability exists with the employer?

Was the employee obligated attend the meeting?

And what did HR tell you when you asked the question?

In other words, we cannot know what the intention or requirements were. You have not asked a legal question.

Based SOLELY on what you have posted here, no. There is no liability for the employer. Based on the few facts in evidence, there was nothing illegal about terming the employee.

Do you have additional facts that you think might change the answer?
