The applicant was an Assistant Teacher with the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD). His services were terminated as a result of his involvement in some criminal case vide order dated 13.09.2011. The applicant approached this Tribunal in OA 3482/2011, which was disposed of vide order dated 25.11.2013 by passing the following order:

“5. Though the decision of the respondents to issue an order simplicitor terminating applicant’s services under Rule 5 (1) cannot be faulted on merit, we feel that the Department indeed committed a mistake in issuing the order dated 13.09.2011, as it has been issued by the Deputy Director of Education. The respondents’ argument that the Deputy Director issued order under delegated authority cannot be accepted as it is against the settled law as cited by the applicant. Though the respondents rightly claim that it has the approval of the Director of Education on file, still the aforesaid order dated 13.09.2011 does not even mention that it has the approval of Director of Education. Therefore, this order clearly has to go. We, therefore, quash the order dated 13.09.2011. As regards the order dated 18
