For Respondents No.3 to 8 :

Mr. Amrito Das, Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 30/06/2021 1.

The present writ petition has been filed assailing the order dated 08.10.2020 whereby the petitioner stood removed by an order passed by the respondent No.3 from the post of Principal, DAV

Ispat Public School, Nandni Mines Area, Nandni Town Ship, District Durg.

2.

During the course of the hearing, it has been reflected that the order under challenge is an appealable order and the appeal would lie to the Disciplinary Committee under Clause 49 of the Affiliation Bylaws governing the service conditions of the petitioner. It has also been reflected that the petitioner has already preferred an appeal to the Disciplinary Committee as early as on 24.10.2020. 3.

In view of the fact that the matter is already seized before the Disciplinary Committee in the appeal that has been preferred by the petitioner, at this juncture in the opinion of this Court it would not be appropriate for this Court to deal into the issues and contentions made in the present writ petition. It would be more appropriate to be dealt with by the Appellate Committee under the bylaws. 4.

Under the circumstances, the writ petition at this juncture stands disposed of directing the Disciplinary Committee to take an expeditious decision on the appeal of the petitioner taking into consideration all the contentions that the petitioner has raised in the appeal and also taking note of any subsequent development that has transpired in this regard. Let an appropriate decision be taken preferably within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

5.

With the aforesaid observations, the present writ petition stands disposed of.
