JUDGEMENT
Dilip Gupta, J. -
(1.) Dilip Gupta, J.
The Committee of Managment of Adarsh Bharti Inter college, Kalwa, Aligarh and Gopal Das Garg claiming himself to be its Manager have filed this petition for setting aside the order dated 8th February, 2010 passed by the Regional Level Committee. The petitioners have also sought the quashing of the order dated 2nd December, 2009 passed by the Joint Director of Education
as also the consequential order dated 14th December, 2009 passed by the District
Inspector of Schools.
(2.) It transpires from the records that the elections of the Committee of
Management of the Institution were held on 22nd June, 2005 in which Jang Pal
was elected as the President and petitioner No. 2-Gopal Das Garg was elected
as the Manager. This election was approved by the Regional Level Committee on
6th January, 2006 and the District Inspector of Schools also attested the signatures
of petitioner No. 2 as the Manager of the Committee of Management of the
Institution on 19th January, 2006. On 5th April, 2009, the Committee of Management
of the Institution passed no confidence motion against the President Jang Pal
Singh. On the other hand, Jang Pal Singh claims that a meeting of the Committee
of Management of the Institution was held on 19th April, 2009 in which petitioner
No. 2 was removed from the post of Manager of the Committee of Management of
the Institution.
(3.) The District Inspector of Schools passed an order on 22nd September,
2009 by which the earlier order dated 19th January, 2006 recognising petitioner
No. 2 as the Manager of the Committee of Management of the Institution was
recalled. This order was challenged by the petitioners in Writ Petition No. 52168
of 2009 which was allowed by the judgment and order dated 8th October, 2009
with the following observations:
"Having considered the submissions advanced, the Court is of the opinion
that the petitioner has been denied opportunity in the matter and as such it
would be appropriate that the matter may be remitted to the District Inspector
of Schools, Aligarh for a fresh decision. At this stage it has been submitted
by Sri Gupta that he does not expect any kind of fair decision from the District
Inspector of Schools, Aligarh (Respondent No. 5) and in this regard the
petitioner has also made representation to the Joint Director of Education,
Aligarh for transfer of the case to some other District Inspector of Schools of
the neighboring districts. In these circumstances it is submitted that this
Court may direct that the matter be decided by some other officer other than
the respondent No. 5. Sri G.K. Singh has suggested that the matter be heard
by the Joint Director of Education, Aligarh himself. Sri Gupta has no objection
to this suggestion.
Accordingly in view of the discussion made above this petition succeeds
and is allowed. The impugned order dated 22.9.2009 passed by the District
Inspector of Schools, Aligarh (Annexure No. 11 to the writ petition) is hereby
quashed and in view of the agreement expressed by the parties, the matter is
remitted to the Joint Director of Education, Aligarh Region, Aligarh to decide
the matter afresh strictly in accordance with law after affording due opportunity
of hearing to the parties concerned. The Joint Director of Education shall
further make an endeavour to decide the matter within a period of two months
from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. It is further provided,
on the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, that both the parties
shall appear before the Joint Director of Education, Aligarh Region, Aligarh on
22.10.2009. Certified copy of this order may be presented before the Joint
Director of Education, Aligarh Region, Aligarh even before the said date by
either of the parties.
Petition is allowed as above.";
