ORDER:
The present writ petition is filed to declare the impugned termination order of 4th respondent vide Rc.No.773/A/KGBVs/SS/Manyam/2025, dated 17.04.2026 thereby terminating the petitioner’s services as Principal, KGBV, Karasavalasa, Saluru Mandal, Parvathipuram Manyam District without notice, without conducting enquiry, without supplying any documentary evidence, without furnishing any enquiry report and without following due process of law as illegal and arbitrary.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.
3. The contention of the petitioner is that while working as Principal in KGBV, Karasavalasa, the petitioner’s services were terminated vide proceedings dated 17.04.2026. The said termination is contrary to the observations made by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Vijayakumaran C.P.V. vs. Central University of Kerala and others1, 1 2020 (12) SCC 426
wherein the Apex Court categorically held that if any termination orders of stigmatic, the respondents have to follow the procedure.
4. In the instant case, on perusal of the references made in the impugned order, it discloses that though the enquiry has conducted on the allegations the fact remains that after conducting enquiry no show cause notice has been issued to the petitioner by supplying the enquiry report and call for explanation and no doubt the termination is based on certain allegations. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, as the respondents have not issued any notice and not supplied the enquiry report dated 19.04.2025 to the petitioner, the impugned orders dated 17.04.2025 are hereby set aside remanding the matter to the competent authority with a direction to issue notice to the petitioner and supply the enquiry report dated 19.04.2025 to the petitioner and after providing reasonable time and after receipt of explanation from the petitioner, the respondent authorities may pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH
