2. The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner made a submission that the documents and the returns filed by the writ petitioner at the time of hearing of the appeal had not been considered by the first respondent and the impugned order was passed against the writ petitioner, without even looking into the documents filed by the writ petitioner. It is further stated that there is no reference in respect of the documents filed by the writ petitioner in the impugned order and there is no finding in this regard. This apart, some other documents, which are all under the custody of the Secretary of the School was unable to be furnished at the time of hearing of the appeal. It is necessary for the writ petitioner to submit all those documents before the first respondent for an effective adjudication of the appeal before the first respondent.
