THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.30436 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Incharge Headmaster in the second respondent Institution established, by the first respondent Society. He was issued a charge memo, dated 11.12.2007, in which, as many as seven charges were framed. The petitioner submitted his explanation. Thereafter, an enquiry officer was appointed in the matter and he, in turn, submitted report on 12.11.2010, holding that out of seven charges, four are proved and three are not proved. The first respondent issued memo, dated 20.11.2010, requiring the petitioner to submit his comments on the findings of the enquiry officer. The report was enclosed. The petitioner submitted application to the first respondent with a prayer to furnish the copies of the enquiry officer’s record. His effort appears to be to know as to the nature of presentation of the case by the first respondent before the enquiry officer, in the form of oral or documentary evidence. Complaining that his request is not acceded to, the petitioner seeks a direction to the first respondent in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is, no doubt, true that the petitioner was given an opportunity to participate in the domestic enquiry and he was furnished with a copy of the report of the enquiry officer. The effort of the petitioner, however, appears to be to know the basis, on which some of the charges were held proved. The request of the petitioner cannot be said to be unreasonable or outside the scope of the proceedings. He is very much interested to know the basis, on which the report was submitted. Even, under the Right to Information Act, the petitioner is entitled to receive the copies of the proceedings. Hence, the Writ Petition is allowed, and the first respondent is directed to furnish the copy of the proceedings of the enquiry officer to the petitioner, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. He shall have two weeks time thereafter to submit the explanation. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Date: 06.12.2010. sj
