Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been issued the work order for providing trained security personnel to the Respondent/ College and has been working since 2022 without any complaint from any quarters. That the present Principal of the Respondent/ College joined the college in the month of August, 2025 and thereafter, started levelling all kinds of baseless, frivolous and unsubstantiated allegations against the petitioner. Learned counsel has stated that prior to the joining of the present Principal, the petitioner was issued appreciation letters by the previous Principals for the year 2023 and for the year 2025. That the agreement entered between the parties is subsisting till 30.06.2027. That after the appointment of the new Principal (i.e. the respondent No. 4 herein), she has started issuing notices to the petitioner making all kinds of baseless and unsubstantiated allegations. That the petitioner has given a suitable reply to the said notices. That the Principal of the College without considering the reply sent by the petitioner has issued the impugned order of termination dated 08.12.2025. Le
