The Telangana High Court imposed Rs 1 lakh costs on a retired headmaster for filing a writ petition seeking action against a teacher, observing that the plea was aimed at settling personal scores. The Court dismissed the petition and directed payment to a school.
Senior Advocate Raja Sripathi Rao, appearing for the petitioner, argued that the suspension order was issued unilaterally by an HCA office-bearer in contravention of Rule 15(4)(d) of the HCA bye-laws, which mandates prior approval of the Apex Council.
