2. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was placed under suspension vide order dt. 25.03.2009 issued by the Secretary Adarsh Girls Upper Primary School, Diggi Bazar Ajmer. The suspension order was passed alleging that the petitioner was not obeying orders of superiors and she was indiscipline and not sincere towards her job.

The Tribunal further recorded a finding that suspension order was passed on 25.03.2009 and the same was challenged before the Tribunal by filing application on 16.09.2014 and as such the delay caused in filing the application, was also not found to be condonable.

5. Mr. Subhash Bisawa, counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the Tribunal has committed illegality in passing the order as it has not considered various documents which were placed on record before the Tribunal. Learned counsel has submitted that the Management itself had treated the petitioner in service after passing of the termination order and they had given intimation in the news paper vide 28.12.2012 (Annex.-63).

Learned counsel has submitted that once the order of termination, passed by the Management, was set aside by the District Education Officer (DEO) vide his order dt. 20.07.2012, the petitioner was to be treated under suspension and as such the Tribunal ought to have decided the issue of suspension of the petitioner.

8. Mr. Shobhit Vyas, counsel for the respondent has submitted that while deciding the application, the Tribunal has taken into account the subsequent developments and in particular termination of services of the petitioner vide order dt. 19.06.2012.
