R. Manjunath Shetty Vs. the Catholic Board of Education

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-30-2002

Reported in: 2003(1)KarLJ361

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. I have heard the learned Advocates on both sides on merits. It is unnecessary for me to recount the facts of this case because the petitioner before me who at the relevant time was a school teacher is alleged to have been involved in recurring acts of molestation and misbehaviour with a 15 year old girl student. The institution in question is a very reputed educational institution in the area. The incident had very serious repercussions and undoubtedly, an enquiry was held and the verdict of the enquiry went against the petitioner.
