For reference, relevant part of said order is reproduced hereinafter: "I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. This, Court unfortunately finds that the same mistake is being repeated by the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar. The requirement was that the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar while approving or disapproving the ultimate punishment order was to consider the issue as to whether the inquiry was conducted in the right perspective as per the regulations or not. The said ingredients while passing the order are completely missing. More so as rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the third respondent that he was not being served with the copy of the inquiry report also and the said inquiry was ex parte the said aspects have not been considered. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record. The Court finds that the order dated 3.10.2023 passed by the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar is liable to be set aside. Consequently the writ petition is being decided in following manner:-(a) the order dated 3.10.2023 passed by the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar is set aside; (b) the matter stands remitted back to the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar to pass a fresh orders (c) in order to facilitate early disposal of the case 5th December, 2023 is the date fixed for hearing of the matter (d) the parties shall appear on 5th December, 2023 on which date the submissions shall be exchanged by the parties and thereafter if required another date be fixed in the week commencing December, 2023 and order be passed by 22nd December, 2023. The District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar while passing the order consider the following fundamental and core issues:-(a) the issue with regard to validity of the inquiry proceedings conducted by the Disciplinary Authority 9 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 against the third respondent (b) issue with respect to the allegation of the fourth respondent that he was not served with the inquiry report (c) the claim of the disciplinary authority that the charges were found to be proved (d) any other ancillary and incidental issues (e) the issue regarding the prejudice caused to the fourth respondent in non payment of subsistence allowance. It is expected that this time the third respondent, District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar shall pass an order strictly in accordance with law. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed off."

18. As referred above, Court has taken note of repeated mistakes committed by the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar that order passed by this Court was not complied with in its letter and spirit.

19. In the aforesaid circumstances, the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar passed a fresh order dated 12.6.2025, whereby proposal sent for termination of respondent no.3 was again disapproved with a direction to reinstate him into service.

20. From perusal of aforesaid order dated 12.6.2025 and if compared with earlier order dated 2.10.2023 passed by the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar dated

3.10.2023, is not a fresh order, rather it is a ‘copy-paste’ of said order. Now order dated 12.6.2025 is under challenge before this Court.

21. Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that orders passed by this Court were not complied with, rather, the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar has committed repeated legal errors despite cautioned by this Court in the earlier round of litigation and has failed to consider four issues on which matter 11 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 was send for reconsideration i.e. (a) legality of the inquiry proceedings conducted by the inquiry officer (b) furnishing of the document, (c) import and the impact of the allegation of non-payment of subsistence allowance and documents (d) other ancillary issues as raised by the petitioners.

22. Learned counsel for the respondent no.3 has though not able to deny that the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar has passed a verbatim order, despite in the earlier round of litigation similar order was set-aside. However, he further submitted that if the Court considers nature of the impugned order, it would be a case of non-application of mind as well as entire disciplinary proceedings being de-hors of rules, can be quashed.

23. Learned counsel further submits that no reason was assigned in the order of termination by the petitioner no.1 i.e. Principal of the College and that District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar has disapproved the proposal of termination on ground that even if the charges are found proved, it would not be a case of termination from service i.e. a major penalty.

24. This Court has summoned District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar, (respondent no.2) and the (petitioner no.2) who are present before this Court. Delinquent employee respondent no.3 is also present in person.

25. It has been informed that the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar who has passed by the impugned order has now retired. 12 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025

26. Court has confronted the impugned order passed by the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar to the present District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar, who fairly submitted that direction passed by this Court were not complied with and prayed that matter be remanded back for fresh consideration.

27. This Court asked a specific querry to the respondent no.3 that whether he is habitual of taking liquor, who after initial hesitation, fairly stated that he used to take liquor after working hours at least 15 days in a month, though he denied that he ever came to the College under the influence of liquor.

28. Learned counsel for the respondent no.3 submitted that respondent no.3 was made a victim and action so taken against him suffers with malafide, however, such plea was never been raised either before the authorities or before this Court in the earlier rounds of litigation, therefore, at this stage, Court is not considering the said submission.

29.As referred above, matter has already been remanded to the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar on two occasions, however, its outcome remain the same, therefore, now Court is not proposing to remand the matter back for fresh consideration despite in the impugned order same error was repeated as the issues on which the matter was remanded was not even considered as well as it appears that material before the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar was also not taken note of and therefore, Court proceed to decide the matter finally.

30. It is not under much dispute that earlier also respondent no.3 was terminated from service on ground 13 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 that he normally comes to the College under the influence of liquor and on basis of an undertaking he was reinstated in the service.

31. As referred above, respondent no.3 was put under suspension on the ground that he has hatched conspiracy against the authorities of the College, whereas in the charge-sheet allegations were absolutely different that he harassed women, who come to offer prayer in a temple situated within the premises of the College under influence of liquor, therefore, at least some evidence was required to prove the said charge, even if the respondent no.3 was failed to submit reply to the charge-sheet despite various opportunities.

32. From perusal of the Inquiry Report as well as order of termination passed by the petitioner i.e. Principal of the College, such exercise is absolutely missing, therefore, on the face of it, inquiry report as well as the order of termination could not stand in the eyes of law, Accordingly, a case of interference is made out.

33. The order of termination itself being contrary to law is hereby set-aside and conseq1uently order impugned is also set-aside being rendered meaningless. The respondent no.3 is directed to be reinstated into service. The period between order of suspension and present order shall be considered as 'No Work No Pay'.

34. As referred above that respondent no.3 has accepted that he is habitual of taking liquor, which is injurious to his health, therefore, concerned Chief Medical Officer is directed that if required, said respondent be admitted in 14 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 the Rehabilitation Centre so that his habit of taking liquor be cured.

35. At this stage, respondent no.3 undertakes that he will never come to the College under influence of liquor and will concentrate on his work only and will not roam around the Mandir situated in the premises of the College, when women offers prayers.

36.With aforesaid directions and observations, this writ petition is disposed of.

37. A copy of this order be sent to the concerned Chief Medical Officer.

For reference, relevant part of said order is reproduced hereinafter: "I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. This, Court unfortunately finds that the same mistake is being repeated by the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar. The requirement was that the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar while approving or disapproving the ultimate punishment order was to consider the issue as to whether the inquiry was conducted in the right perspective as per the regulations or not. The said ingredients while passing the order are completely missing. More so as rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the third respondent that he was not being served with the copy of the inquiry report also and the said inquiry was ex parte the said aspects have not been considered. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record. The Court finds that the order dated 3.10.2023 passed by the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar is liable to be set aside. Consequently the writ petition is being decided in following manner:-(a) the order dated 3.10.2023 passed by the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar is set aside; (b) the matter stands remitted back to the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar to pass a fresh orders (c) in order to facilitate early disposal of the case 5th December, 2023 is the date fixed for hearing of the matter (d) the parties shall appear on 5th December, 2023 on which date the submissions shall be exchanged by the parties and thereafter if required another date be fixed in the week commencing December, 2023 and order be passed by 22nd December, 2023. The District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar while passing the order consider the following fundamental and core issues:-(a) the issue with regard to validity of the inquiry proceedings conducted by the Disciplinary Authority 9 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 against the third respondent (b) issue with respect to the allegation of the fourth respondent that he was not served with the inquiry report (c) the claim of the disciplinary authority that the charges were found to be proved (d) any other ancillary and incidental issues (e) the issue regarding the prejudice caused to the fourth respondent in non payment of subsistence allowance. It is expected that this time the third respondent, District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar shall pass an order strictly in accordance with law. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed off."

18. As referred above, Court has taken note of repeated mistakes committed by the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar that order passed by this Court was not complied with in its letter and spirit.

19. In the aforesaid circumstances, the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar passed a fresh order dated 12.6.2025, whereby proposal sent for termination of respondent no.3 was again disapproved with a direction to reinstate him into service.

20. From perusal of aforesaid order dated 12.6.2025 and if compared with earlier order dated 2.10.2023 passed by the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar dated

3.10.2023, is not a fresh order, rather it is a ‘copy-paste’ of said order. Now order dated 12.6.2025 is under challenge before this Court.

21. Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that orders passed by this Court were not complied with, rather, the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar has committed repeated legal errors despite cautioned by this Court in the earlier round of litigation and has failed to consider four issues on which matter 11 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 was send for reconsideration i.e. (a) legality of the inquiry proceedings conducted by the inquiry officer (b) furnishing of the document, (c) import and the impact of the allegation of non-payment of subsistence allowance and documents (d) other ancillary issues as raised by the petitioners.

22. Learned counsel for the respondent no.3 has though not able to deny that the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar has passed a verbatim order, despite in the earlier round of litigation similar order was set-aside. However, he further submitted that if the Court considers nature of the impugned order, it would be a case of non-application of mind as well as entire disciplinary proceedings being de-hors of rules, can be quashed.

23. Learned counsel further submits that no reason was assigned in the order of termination by the petitioner no.1 i.e. Principal of the College and that District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar has disapproved the proposal of termination on ground that even if the charges are found proved, it would not be a case of termination from service i.e. a major penalty.

24. This Court has summoned District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar, (respondent no.2) and the (petitioner no.2) who are present before this Court. Delinquent employee respondent no.3 is also present in person.

25. It has been informed that the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar who has passed by the impugned order has now retired. 12 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025

26. Court has confronted the impugned order passed by the then District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar to the present District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar, who fairly submitted that direction passed by this Court were not complied with and prayed that matter be remanded back for fresh consideration.

27. This Court asked a specific querry to the respondent no.3 that whether he is habitual of taking liquor, who after initial hesitation, fairly stated that he used to take liquor after working hours at least 15 days in a month, though he denied that he ever came to the College under the influence of liquor.

28. Learned counsel for the respondent no.3 submitted that respondent no.3 was made a victim and action so taken against him suffers with malafide, however, such plea was never been raised either before the authorities or before this Court in the earlier rounds of litigation, therefore, at this stage, Court is not considering the said submission.

29.As referred above, matter has already been remanded to the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar on two occasions, however, its outcome remain the same, therefore, now Court is not proposing to remand the matter back for fresh consideration despite in the impugned order same error was repeated as the issues on which the matter was remanded was not even considered as well as it appears that material before the District Inspector of Schools, Gautam Budh Nagar was also not taken note of and therefore, Court proceed to decide the matter finally.

30. It is not under much dispute that earlier also respondent no.3 was terminated from service on ground 13 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 that he normally comes to the College under the influence of liquor and on basis of an undertaking he was reinstated in the service.

31. As referred above, respondent no.3 was put under suspension on the ground that he has hatched conspiracy against the authorities of the College, whereas in the charge-sheet allegations were absolutely different that he harassed women, who come to offer prayer in a temple situated within the premises of the College under influence of liquor, therefore, at least some evidence was required to prove the said charge, even if the respondent no.3 was failed to submit reply to the charge-sheet despite various opportunities.

32. From perusal of the Inquiry Report as well as order of termination passed by the petitioner i.e. Principal of the College, such exercise is absolutely missing, therefore, on the face of it, inquiry report as well as the order of termination could not stand in the eyes of law, Accordingly, a case of interference is made out.

33. The order of termination itself being contrary to law is hereby set-aside and conseq1uently order impugned is also set-aside being rendered meaningless. The respondent no.3 is directed to be reinstated into service. The period between order of suspension and present order shall be considered as 'No Work No Pay'.

34. As referred above that respondent no.3 has accepted that he is habitual of taking liquor, which is injurious to his health, therefore, concerned Chief Medical Officer is directed that if required, said respondent be admitted in 14 WRIT - A No. - 10080 of 2025 the Rehabilitation Centre so that his habit of taking liquor be cured.

35. At this stage, respondent no.3 undertakes that he will never come to the College under influence of liquor and will concentrate on his work only and will not roam around the Mandir situated in the premises of the College, when women offers prayers.

36.With aforesaid directions and observations, this writ petition is disposed of.

37. A copy of this order be sent to the concerned Chief Medical Officer.
