CORAM : RAVINDRA V. GHUGE & S.G. MEHARE, J.J.
DATED : 17th JULY, 2021
PER COURT:-
1. On 28.06.2021, we had called upon the learned advocate for
the petitioner to address us as to whether the chargesheeted employees
are sufciently protected by the 42 nd amendment to the Constitution
(Article 311) in the light of the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in
Managing Director, ECIL, Hyderabad Vs. B. Karunakar, reported in
(1993), 4 SCC 727. The view of the Hon'ble Apex Court in an earlier
judgment in Union of India and Ors Vs. Mohd. Ramzan Khan,
reported in (1991) 1 SCC 588 needs reference.
2. After briefy hearing the learned advocates for the respective
sides today, it appears that the petitioners contend that there are two
factions in the managing body of the trust. Respondent no.6 contends
that respondent no.4 is not in the managing body and is not elected on the
governing body of the trust. He further adds that these petitioners, who
are chargesheeted employees, have threatened the State Awardee

teachers who were appointed in accordance with the M.E.P.S Rules,
1981 on the enquiry committees which were constituted with regard to
petitioner nos.1, 2 and 3. The enquiry committee with regard to petitioner
nos.4, 5 and 6 is yet to be constituted.
3. By the frst order passed by this Court on 27.07.2020, it has
been made clear that the enquiries can proceed against the petitioners.
We, therefore, do not fnd any legal impediment for the constitution of the
enquiry committee even for initiation of the enquiries as against petitioner
nos.4, 5 and 6.
4. We, however, fnd it appropriate to direct the learned
advocate representing respondent no.6 to place before us an afdavit by
the State Awardee teachers that petitioner nos.1 to 3 had threatened such
nominees on the enquiry committee. We also call upon the learned AGP,
who represents respondent nos.1, 2 and 3, to place before us a statement
from the Assistant Charity Commissioner, Parbhani as to which is the
authorized governing body on the Kamel Education Society as on date.
5. We are listing this petition on 02.08.2021. The ad-interim
relief granted earlier and our observations in this order would continue
until further orders.
