Bombay High Court has ordered the educational institution to pay pension to the teacher. File pic
The Bombay High Court recently came to the rescue of a teacher who had challenged his termination from a private school in Maval, Pune, way back in 2007, for alleged wrongdoings. The high court set aside the termination order as it was not serious enough to warrant removal from service and ordered the educational institution to pay pension to the teacher.
The petitioner was appointed on April 27, 1994 as an assistant teacher by the Vidya Prasarini Sabha, Pune. In January 2006, at the last school where the teacher had served for seven years, he was accused of misconduct and an explanation was sought from him. Though the teacher had sought time and certified copies of the charges and documents to file his reply, the school administration went ahead and constituted an enquiry committee. The teacher was accused of 27 charges which among other things included failure to complete the results of a class, incorrect evaluation of an examination answer paper of a student and insubordination with respect to examination related work and making baseless allegations against colleagues.
