The appeal is hereby partly allowed. 2. The Inquiry report is set aside on the ground of failure to consider the Appellant's documents at page No.407 to 493 produced before the Inquiry Committee. Consequently, the impugned decision of the Management to terminate the Appellant's services w.e.f. 28.08.2006 stands set aside without going into it's merits. 2 3. It is hereby directed that the Inquiry shall continue from the stage of Rule 37(5) of MEPS Rules i.e., receiving further explanation of the Appellant. The Management shall call upon the Inquiry Committee to complete remaining part of it's task. On receiving the Inquiry report the Management shall proceed according to the provisions of law. 4. The Management shall comply with the above direction within a period of two months from today.” Prayer (b)(i) seeks modification of the time limit fixed by the Tribunal from two months to three months for the conclusion of the enquiry and that is the only prayer pressed at the hearing. Having regard to the limited nature of the relief that is sought, it is not necessary to issue notice to the First Respondent. However, the Court has been informed that a copy of the petition has already been served on the First Respondent. It is clarified that should the First Respondent seek any modification of the directions that are issued in this order, it would be open to the First Respondent to do so by moving the Court. The Petition is disposed of by extending the period prescribed in the order of the School Tribunal by a further period of one month. A detailed chronology has been furnished in the petition which would show that the enquiry has already been commenced and 3 several sittings have been held. A formal decision of the enquiry is awaited. The petition is accordingly disposed of. .....
