JUDGEMENT

SUDHIR AGARWAL, J. - (1.)Heard Sri Vimlesh Kumar, learned counsel appearing for petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for respondents 1 and 2. None appeared on behalf of respondent even in the revise call.
(2.)This writ petition has been filed against order dated 15.01.2005 (Annexure 9 to this writ petition) passed by respondent 3 whereby petitioner has been terminated from service.
(3.)The facts stated in writ petition shows that petitioner was appointed as Peon on 29.08.2003 by respondent 3, Principal, Kaushambi Inter College Mau, District Chitrakoot (hereinafter referred to as 'College') and since then he is working continuously. On 17.11.2004, Principal of College placed petitioner under suspension. Order of suspension was issued by Principal of College without seeking approval from District Inspector of School, Chitrakoot (hereinafter referred to as "DIOS"). Petitioner made a representation against suspension order vide letter dated 06.12.2004 (Annexure 3 to the writ petition) and thereafter on 30.12.2004, he received a charge-sheet dated 26.12.2004 issued by Principal of College. In the meantime, petitioner also received a letter dated 24.12.2004 issued by Sri Shiv Pratap Mishra, Inquiry Officer, asking petitioner to appear before him to place his defence in respect of charges levelled against him on 05.01.2005. The letter also says that in case, petitioner fails to appear before him on that date, it would be deemed that he has nothing to say and inquiry will proceed exparte. Since petitioner was unwell, by letter dated 31.12.2004, he requested Principal of College for grant of medical leave from 01.01.2005 to 15.01.2005. No order was passed by him and instead, petitioner received a letter dated 10.01.2005 sent by Inquiry Officer, asking petitioner to appear before him on 15.01.2005 along with documents verifying his illness and also place his defence. Petitioner informed Inquiry Officer that he is not well and sought five days time vide letter dated 15.01.2005. It appears that Inquiry Officer without holding any further inquiry, concluded proceeding and submitted report on 15.01.2005, and on same date, Principal of College passed order of termination dated 15.01.2005, impugned in the present writ petition.
