CWP No. 4404 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 4404 of 2010 Date of decision March 12, 2010 T.K. Goyal ....... Petitioner Versus Union Territory and others ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Amar Kumar Diamarddin, Advocate for Mr. Surmukh Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. **** K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The writ petition seeks for an intervention through this Court for an action to be taken by the State authorities against the school on the basis of a report submitted by the District Educational Officer regarding the alleged despicable conduct of a particular teacher. According to the petitioner, there was ample material to show that the lyrics of the songs that the teacher has taught the students were composed in indecent lewd language. The young children, it was alleged, were exposed to pornographic web sites by the teacher. Although, there is a report which has been drawn on the basis of complaints received and enquiry made by State Educational Authority, it is seen that the school has failed to turn up before the authorities perhaps, on the ground that as a Minority Institution, they were entitled to carry on their affairs without any form of interference from State. However, there is an enquiry which is constituted before Justice S.S.Sodhi (retired Judge) and in the enquiry notice has been served to the petitioner, it appears that the petitioner had not availed the opportunity to present himself and tender evidence in support of the complaint. CWP No. 4404 of 2010 2 2. The retired Judge has now posted the case on 19.3.2010 where the petitioner can have his grievance duly expressed and he can have objective assessment of the complaint. If only no action, is still taken pursuant to the enquiry,and the complaint is found to be true, any intervention would be appropriate. At the present situation, it shall not be possible to accede to the petitioner's request. 3. The writ petition is disposed of with liberty to approach, if no action is taken pursuant to the enquiry in the event of the guilt of the teacher being exposed. (K.
