1. This writ petition is liable to be dismissed even without issuing rule for the sole reason that the petitioner did not annex the copy of the impugned order dated 02.04.2013 for removing the petitioner from the post of Principal, St. Mary’s College, Shillong to the writ petition [Surinder Singh vs. Central Govt. & Others, (1986) 4 SCC 667]. However, this Court was lenient enough in issuing notice to the respondents. The respondents No.3 & 5 in their joint affidavit-in-opposition had annexed the copy of the impugned order dated 02.04.2013 as Annexure-XIX. The main ground for assailing the impugned order dated 02.04.2013 is that there was violation of principles of natural justice and also the prescribed procedure had not been followed in imposing major penalty of removal from the post of Principal of St. Mary’s College.
