Gajendra Bhatnagar made arrangement for sitting of students in one line irrespective of boy and girl students, while Smt. Vimala Keshari, who was a teacher in the same school insisted that girl students should appear in one line and boy students had to appear in another line. She insisted that there should be separate lines for boys and girls students. Dispute took place and consequently both made complaint against each other. On inquiry the Sub-Divisional Magistrate held that this occurrence had brought disrepute to the school and therefore, he recommended for transfer of both the teachers from the school so that peaceful atmosphere in the school could be maintained.;
