Tribunal jails school manager for a month
July 10th, 2011 - 8:17 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, July 10 (IANS) The Delhi School Tribunal has awarded one month’s imprisonment to the manager of a private school for disobeying its order related to an employee who was forced to take compulsory retirement.
Delhi School Tribunal presided over by N.P. Kaushik punished M. Aslam Parvaiz, manager of the Cambridge Primary School, New Friends Colony, with imprisonment and fined him Rs.1,000.
The tribunal also issued a warrant attaching the school’s Rs.20 lakh bank account.
The tribunal punished the manager after it found that the school management was flouting its order of Aug 30, 2007, setting aside the school’s decision to enforce a compulsory retirement order against petitioner Kailash Chand Jain, who worked as an office assistant.
The tribunal ordered a fresh inquiry into allegations of indiscipline against Jain and ruled that he would be deemed to be under suspension with effect from the date he was removed till the final orders were passed by the director of education.
Till the inquiry was over, the school was told to pay 50 percent salary to Jain. The removed employee alleged the school did not assist in the fresh inquiry and resorted to delaying tactics.
“There is no reasonable excuse shown by the respondent school for non-compliance of the orders in question,” the tribunal said in its order earlier this month.
“Needless to say that the subsistence allowance is a means to keep the body and soul together. Its denial has to be viewed seriously. Here is a case in which the respondents have been flouting the orders for the last four years and that too with impunity,” said the tribunal.
“The school management and director education of Delhi government have also availed the opportunity to approach the Delhi High Court. They cannot be allowed to plead that the law is toothless and this tribunal has to act as a mute spectator,” noted the tribunal.
“Report be awaited for July 25. A copy of this order be sent to the principal secretary (education), principal secretary (law and judicial) and director education,” said the judge.
