TO JUDGE Mn R.BASANT & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- WPC No.2943 of 2011 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th March, 2011 JUDGMENT Basant, J. The petitioners run two educational institutions in the same compound. First respondent is a dismissed teacher from the Teachers Training Institute of which the second petitioner is the Principal. First respondent is aggrieved by the action taken against him. It is the grievance of the petitioners that the first respondent is indulging in illegal, violent, contumacious and culpable activities of threatening the peaceful running of the educational institution in the premises. In these circumstances, the petitioners have come to this Court with this petition for issue of directions under Article 226 of the Constitution to respondents 2 to 4 to ensure peaceful and orderly functioning of the educational institution deterring the improper and culpable conduct on the part of the first respondent. 2. This petition was admitted on 28.1.2011. wpc No.2943/2011 2 Respondent No.1 has entered appearance. The learned Government Pleader represents respondents 2 to 4. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that after receipt of the notice in this writ petition from this Court, there has been no contumacious or culpable activities on the part of the first respondent. In the present situation, no specific orders may be necessary, but the petitioner apprehends that once this writ petition is disposed of, first respondent may continue to indulge in contumacious and culpable activities. 4. Respondent No.1 submits before this Court through his counsel that he has absolutely no intention to illegally obstruct the working of the institution or to indulge in any contumacious or violent conduct. According to him, his termination was unjustified. He is entitled to raise objections against such allegedly illegal termination. He has the right to peacefully demonstrate. His right to peaceful demonstration may be recognized. It is undertaken that the first respondent shall not in any way obstruct ingress and egress to the campus by students, teachers, wpc No.2943/2011 3 employees etc. He shall not indulge in any contumacious or culpable conduct. This undertaking may be accepted and further proceedings may be discontinued, submits the learned counsel for the first respondent. 5. The learned Government Pleader on behalf of respondents 2 to 4 submits that in the perception of respondents 2 to 4, there is no threat warranting issue of directions under Article 226 of the Constitution now. If there be any such contumacious or culpable conduct on the part of respondent No.1, needful shall be done by respondents 2 to 4 and adequate and effective protection shall be granted to the petitioners. 6. We accept the submission of the learned counsel for the first respondent. We accept the submissions of the learned Government Pleader. We are satisfied that in these circumstances no further or specific directions are necessary. 7. This writ petition is in these circumstances allowed in part to the above extent. Needless to say, this judgment shall not fetter the rights of the first respondent to stage wpc No.2943/2011 4 peaceful demonstration against his allegedly illegal termination of employment outside the gate of the institution provided ingress and egress to the institution is not in any way obstructed.
