The Governing Body, Serampore Girls’ College and anr. Vs. Dr. Sailen ...

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jul-28-2010

While deciding this appeal our attention was drawn to the plight of the Principal of a renowned college of West Bengal who had to suffer immensely at the instance of the Governing Body of the college. The learned Single Judge in the judgment and order under appeal beautifully described the high-handed arbitrary acts on the part of the Governing Body while conducting disciplinary proceedings against the Principal of the college. The learned Single Judge in the aforesaid judgment and order under appeal demonstrated that the members of the Governing Body were not at all keen to observe the principles of natural justice and procedural justice by granting minimum opportunity to the said Principal to defend himself in the disciplinary proceedings. Unfortunately, the members of the Governing Body were unmindful of the position of the Principal of a college. A Principal can be subjected to disciplinary proceedings but while conducting the said disciplinary proceedings, norms relating to princi...
