1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Writ Petition NO.3204/2008 Anil Narayanrao Pranjale Vs. Navjeevan Society and others. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Mr. P.D.Meghe, Adv. for the petitioner. Mrs. Keole, Adv. for the respondent no.1. Coram : B.H. Marlapalle and A.H. Joshi, JJ. Dated : 7th October, 2008. Heard Mr. Meghe, learned counsel for the petitioner, who is aggrieved by the suspension order dated 17.6.2008. The petitioner was holding the post of Head Master of Deepshikha Gurukul Sainik School at Chikhaldara, District Amravati and admittedly, pursuant to the charge-sheet dated 29.2.2008 the departmental enquiry is in progress against him. The respondent-Management has filed affidavit- in-reply and has pointed out that the petitioner has not been co-operating in conducting the enquiry and from 10.4.2008 whenever the inquiry proceedings were held, either he has been taking objections to the procedure followed or his defence representative has been remaining absent and consequently inquiry is being adjourned from time to time. The enquiry was held for the last time on 2 26.7.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner has furnished an undertaking before us that the petitioner will attend enquiry along with his defence representative on the date fixed by the Inquiry Committee and he shall not ask for any adjournments. Learned counsel for the Management is agreeable for the enquiry being conducted on day to day basis so that it is concluded by the end of November 2008. The Education Officer (Zilla Parishad), Amravati has filed an affidavit-in-reply and has stated that the impugned suspension order cannot be approved and consequently the subsistence allowance will have to be paid by the Management from its own pocket and it cannot be reimbursed by the State Government. One of the reasons mentioned by the Management in support of the suspension order is that the petitioner is holding the post of Head Master and there are some witnesses, who are his subordinates and, therefore, it would be necessary to keep him away from the duty till the inquiry is completed. We do not find any unreasonable stand in these contentions. Hence, we direct that the Enquiry be conducted on day to day basis and shall be completed by the end of 3 November 2008. The petitioner along with his defence representative shall remain present before the Enquiry Officer on the date fixed and shall not ask for any adjournment. The Management shall pay him full salary for the period from 17.6.2008 till 30.11.2008 or till the date of inquiry is completed, whichever is earlier. The petition is disposed off in the aforesaid terms. JUDGE JUDGE Ambulkar.
