SCHOOL MANAGER SENT TO JAIL FOR FLOUTING TRIBUNAL’S ORDER

In an unprecedented order, Delhi School Tribunal presided over by Mr. N. P. Kaushik punished Dr. M. Aslam Parvaiz, Manager, Cambridge Primary School, New Friends Colony with an imprisonment for a term of four weeks and pay fine to the extent of Rs.1000/-. The Judge has also issued a warrant of attachment of the bank account of the school to the extent of Rs.20 lacs.

The Tribunal has punished the School Manager as it has found that the orders dated 11.06.2005 setting aside compulsory retirement order of Sh. Kailash Chand Jain has been flouted by the school. “There is no reasonable excuse shown by the respondent school for non-compliance of the orders in question”, the Judge noted in its order dated 04.07.2011.

In this historical order, the Tribunal has for the first time exercised its powers under Section 27 of Delhi School Education Act, 1973 which makes a Manager of recognized private school liable to imprisonment and fine for omitting or failing, without any reasonable excuse, to carry out any orders made by the tribunal.
