APRIL 06, .

Heard learned Counsel for the respective parties. (2) It is the contention of the Petitioner that salary of the Petitioner was stopped since March, 2025 without giving any show cause notice nor any orders passed in that regard. The Respondents issued notices to the Petitioner, Management as well as Headmaster on 24/01/2026. In pursuance to that, the Petitioner remained present before the Authority along with the original documents. The Respondents, though verified original documents, passed the impugned order dated 26/02/2026 and concluded that approval order was not issued by the office of the Deputy Director of Education, Nagpur Division, Nagpur. One of the reasons for such conclusion is that the original record is not produced by the Petitioner. Even today, the Petitioner is ready to produce the original documents before the Authority.
