On 14.10.2015, the petitioner was placed under suspension alleging that he physically manhandled the Manager and his wife. Thereafter, on 19.10.2015, the petitioner was served with a memo of charges. The suspension was later extended beyond fifteen days as per order dated 28.10.2015. Later on 12.4.2016, the District Educational Officer directed the Manager to reinstate the petitioner in service. Challenging the said direction, the Manager approached this Court in WP(C) No.17452/2016.

The Assistant Educational Officer completed the enquiry and submitted a report on 29-8-2016. Based on the enquiry report, Ext.P6 show cause notice dated 19.9.2016 was issued to the petitioner by the Manager. The petitioner submitted his objection on 24.10.2016. Dissatisf
