Porvorim, 09th May, 2023.
No. Acad/Bar/Take over/STBHS/1109
Read: Show Cause Notice No. Acad/MGT/21/ /-Bardez/98/1926 dated 25-08-2022.
Whereas, the above referred show cause notice was sent to the Chairman of the School Managing Committee of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona, Bardez-Goa.
And whereas, the Chairman of the School Managing Committee replied to the same vide email of 11-10-2022 under the caption of Preliminary reply in continuation with my letter dated 4-10-2022 for show cause letter dated 25-08-2022 and 26-09-2022. Vide its reply, the Chairman of the School Managing Committee stated as under:-
1. We are in receipt of your subject show cause notice and at the outset deny each and every allegation made therein.
2. The Fransalians manage over 150 schools throughout the world for over hundred years under Fransalian Education Societies and the management is committed to the welfare of the student communities.
3. St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona, Goa is one of those Christian Minority Schools which is directly under the President/Provincial Superior along with the Governing Body of Fransalian Education Society, Goa.
4. As a preliminary submission, it is stated that the show cause notice issued by your office is itself beyond jurisdiction under the Goa, Daman and Diu School Education Act and Rules, 1984 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") as under Section 20 of the Act, the authority to take over the management of a school is vested in the Administrator of the union territory.
5. Submitted that in the present time, the position of the Administrator of the union territory will correspond to that of the Hon'ble Governor of the State and therefore the Directorate of Education does not have any power to invoke Section 20 of the Act.
6. Further, the grounds taken, as mentioned in the show cause notice do not satisfy the ingredients of Section 20 of the Act. Neither is there any explanation of how the provisions of Section 20 are attracted to the matter at hand nor is there any material on record before this Authority for it is to exercise any jurisdiction under Section 20.
7. Furthermore, the show cause notice issued by your office states that the conditions mentioned in sub-clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 of Section 20 of the Act are attracted in the present case however, there is no explanation as to how the said sub-clauses are applicable in the present case. There are no details in the show case notice as to how the Managing Committee or Manager of the school have contravened any provision of this Act or any rule or order made thereunder, has neglected to perform any duty or obligation imposed on it by or under this Act, has mismanaged the affairs of the school or misappropriated or misapplied any money standing to the credit of any fund of the school, and has managed the affairs of the school in a manner prejudicial to the public interest which are the predicates of sub-clause (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 20 of the Act. Therefore, it is stated that Section 20 of the Act cannot be invoked in the present matter.
8. Moreover, the threshold to invoke Section 20 of the Act is quite high. The Hon'ble Bombay High Court has held in St. Anthony's High School Trust & anr. V. State of Goa & anr. (1996) 5 Bom CR 33 "14 .... Before an action under Section 20 can be justified not only one or the other of the seven grounds appearing in Section 20 have to be made good, but also it has to be found that the action of taking over the management is expedient in public interest or in the interest of the school education or in order to secure the proper management of the school. It is only when both these ingredients are held to have been satisfied that an action of taking over management under Section 20 of the Act can be justified".
9. As stated earlier, the show cause notice issued by you gives no explanation as to how the taking over of the management of the school is expedient in public interest or in the interest of the school education or any corroboration of improper management of the school by the manager of the society.
10. We had forwarded letter dated 22-07-2022 to your Department of Education requesting the approval of the new members of School Managing Committee, though the same is not mandatory under the Act. We had even sent reminders and till date we have not received any reply from the Department of Education. That is the reason I was surprised to receive the Show Cause Notice. Please furnish the approved list of the new School Managing Committee. The selective delay of the Directorate of Education for the approval of the School Managing Society of St. Thomas Boys High School is also not allowing the Management to function effectively.
11. Please note that neither the Chairman of the School Managing Committee nor the President/Provincial Superior of St. Thomas Boys High School under Fransalian Education Society, Goa has received any such complaints as stated by your show cause notice.
12. The complaints against the Management are fabricated, misleading, malicious and a conspiracy of the Headmaster Fr. Valerian Carvalho in order to derail the internal inquiry and pending decision by the Society against Fr. Valerian Carvalho for his various gross misconduct, massive financial irregularities and abuse of power which have been received various times by the Chairman of the School and your office respectively and for the same the directive was issued on 11-07-2021 and the same copy of the letter was issued to your office of the Directorate.
13. I, strongly agree with you that lives of the students should not be endangered. All repairs and maintenance must be done and students should have safe environment to study and it is the foremost priority of the present Management.
14. I, would like to state that so far, the Headmaster had not communicated with me regarding the school repairs and maintenance, until recently, I had no knowledge of the repair works that need to be done. The Headmaster has to learn the chain of communication. He has been misleading the Department of Education and maligning the name of the Society.
15. The letters addressed (showcause notice) to the Chairman of the School Managing Committee were criminally kept with Fr. Valerian Carvalho for over a month without sending to the Chairman of the School Managing Committee of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona not returning to the Directorate of Education if the Headmaster pretended of not knowing the address.
16. As per the letter dated 26-06-2021 by the Manager, the Headmaster has repeatedly threatened, intimidated and publicly insulted the Manager several times and did not allow the Manager to exercise his responsibilities.
17. A new Manager was appointed on 27-09-2022 for salary related works and consequent to his appointment, the new Manager visited the St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona, several OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 times for the salary related works of the staff but the office staff did not oblige the new Manager (Letters dated 03-10-2022 and on 08-10-2022 which was also duly communicated to the Director of Education). The investigation on the deliberate delay of the respective office staff or by the Headmaster is under process.
18. In the above context, the Management strongly protests and believes that Fr. Valerian misleadingly and maliciously campaigned against the Management in order to derail the internal inquiry and decision making process of the Fransalian Education Society against the criminal activities of Fr. Valerian Carvalho.
19. The President/Provincial Superior of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona under Fransalian Education Society, Goa has not received any such complaints dated 27-07-2022.
20. The Chairman of the School Managing Committee of St. Thomas Schools has not received any such complaint letter as dated 27-07-2022.
21. We assure you that as soon as the Chairman of School Managing Committee or the President/ /Provincial Superior of the Fransalian Education Society, Goa receives the copy of the complaint letter dated 11-07-2022 and the proofs of leaking roof, the Management will do the immediate repairs if there are any. (Kindly note the Common Office for all St. Thomas Schools under Fransalian Education Society; St. Thomas Higher Secondary School, Aldona, Bardez, Goa.
22. It is a criminal intention of the Headmaster Fr. Valerian that maintenance grants have not been properly utilized:
a. The Headmaster never handed over the keys of the school campus to the Manager to exercise his duties as the Manager, until just recently, on 1st of November, 2022, a small bunch of about 5 keys were handed over to him, though not all the keys of the school. The Manager was always locked out of the school campus and could not do the maintenance work during the school holidays or whenever the children were out of the school keeping in mind the safety of the children during any major works.
b. As per the directives of the School Chairman, the maintenance records and service conditions of the school were not handed over by the Headmaster for maintenance of the school (cfr. Letter dated 30-05-2022).
c. The Manager twice asked the Headmaster on 30-05-2022 and on 12-08-2022 and also asked him to transfer the rent money for the maintenance of the school, but the Headmaster never obliged to transfer the rent money from the maintenance grants.
d. The account of the Maintaining Society, Aldona Fransalian Society, and few other accounts were criminally frozen by Fr. Valerian Carvalho on 24-10-2019 on his frivolous reasons and thus the Headmaster criminally did not allow the Management to maintain the school.
The Headmaster was asked several times to unfreeze the account of the Managing Society in order to legally carry out the maintenance works of the school by the Management but the Headmaster did not keep the interest of the students, school and the society in mind.
f. The Bank details reveal that the Manager has always obliged the daily maintenance of the school by regularly supplying the fund. The Headmaster's reason of borrowing money from others is only a lie to divert the attention from his unlawful activities in the school in name of borrowing which needs a prior permission as per the directives of the Chairman dated 11-07-2021.
g. It is the endeavour of the Management to carry out all necessary maintenance including repairs out of the rent amount received, however hurdles are being placed by the Headmaster towards this work for reasons best known to him. Quotations/ /estimates need to be obtained from Engineers/Contractors who need to inspect the premises. While the Manager is not interfering in the administrative & academic work of the Headmaster/School, the Manager faces bottlenecks in discharge of his duties especially towards maintenance. The Manager is made a stranger in the school owned by his Management. The last letter written by Manager to Headmaster for transfer of maintenance grants to Society for purpose of taking up repairing work was dated 12-08-2022 but the Headmaster did not transfer the maintenance fund when it was required for the repairs.
23. Allegations on non-appointment of Teachers etc. is totally denied as per the complaints of the Headmasters.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023a) The letter dated 11-07-2022 of Fr. Valerian Carvalho is not available to the Management. However, taking what is considered in para 2 of your letter, it is denied that the Management is not co-operating and/or acting on pressing issues faced by the school.
b) As per various complaints, the Headmaster has always interfered in the works of the Manager. The complaints reveal that the Headmaster himself unlawfully prepared the documents without any prior permission from the Manager on the recruitment of the staff and threatened the Manager to sign the documents of new staff without any procedure.
c) We promise you to look into all the appointments for which NOC has been obtained. The process of appointment and recruiting of the staff is already in motion and will be completed at the earliest.
24. It is denied that the Management has not arranged for consumables, stationery etc. necessary for running of the school. The Manager has been issuing cheques periodically for this purpose, details of some cheques No. 893944-893947, 535341-50). However, neither the bills nor copies nor the accounts were submitted by the school staff/ /Headmaster to the Manager for his records and accounting until recently. Just before the last date of hearing, the Headmaster was handed over certain audited statements and bills to the present Manager, Fr. Winston Barboza, on 1st November, 2022 and the Management is in the process of going through the bills and clearing the same.
25. Question of Renewal of Contract staff: The Headmaster never allowed the Manager to exercise his responsibilities but only threatened the Manager to sign the documents without following any procedures.
26. Concerning NOC for permanent as well as temporary: As per the written directives of the Chairman of St. Thomas Boys High School dated 11-07-2021, the Headmaster interfered in the work of the school and did not seek the written permission of the Chairman in order to effect the appointment of the staff.
27. On the malicious allegation of presently roof
is leaking etc.:
a. Although repairs to school building had been carried out extensively in the past but the Headmaster never handed over the service agreements of past ones who did the work in the past for better follow up by the Management and hence, there is a real conspiracy in the sudden leaking of the roof of the school building.
b. Though the school belonged to the Management, the Headmaster refused to give the keys of school in order to inspect and initiate the repair works in the absence of the students. Only recently did he hand over a small bunch of 5 keys on 1st November, 2022.
c. The Headmaster never gave the keys of the building to the Manager to inspect thebuilding through the experts and never shown any places of repair works of the roof but only shoots off letters to i m p l i c a t e t h e M a n a g e r a n d t h e Management in order to take over the school through his nexus of people against Management.
d. In spite of the malicious and manufactured lies of the Headmaster, we assure you that the complete school building will be inspected by engineers/contractors immediately and their views, quotations/ estimates will be sought. Work will be undertaken for which all round co-operation of Headmaster is necessary. In spite of all the keys not been given, already a contractor has visited the school alongwith the Manager during the school hours on 11th November, 2022, and has seen the work to be undertaken and needed repairing work will be carried out soon.
28. Due procedures have been followed in matters concerning the Registration of the Society and a case in the Honourable High Court has also been filed. The Headmaster Fr. Valerian Carvalho had interfered for vested interests in order to derail the process of investigation against him. He seems to be not interested in working with the Fransalian Education Society of Aldona.
29. There are some practical hurdles the Headmaster Fr. Valerian Carvalho has been creating with the help of some vested interests. We should be able to overcome all of them and run the school smoothly.
30. For the above mentioned reasons, the show cause notice is strongly protested and the Management should be allowed to initiate investigation and the consequent decision in OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 the best interest of the students community and as per the due procedures of the Fransalian Education Society, Goa.
31. In view of the above, it is requested that the show cause notice be withdrawn and the matter be closed.
And whereas, after going through the reply to the show cause notice, the undersigned decided to hear the matter under Section 20 of the Goa School Education Act, 1984. The hearing was kept on 03-11-2022. During the course of hearing, Adv. Shivraj Gaonkar appeared on behalf of the Fransalian Education Society. He filed his Vakalatnama and submitted a copy of the reply. The Headmaster Fr. Valerian Carvalho of St. Thomas Boys High School was present alongwith the PTA President Shri Menino D'Souza. The matter was adjourned and kept for hearing and submission of reply on 15-11-2022.
And whereas, on 15-11-2022, Adv. Shivraj Gaonkar appeared on behalf of the School authorities. The Headmaster and PTA Chairman remained absent. During the course of hearing, the reply was filed on behalf of the Manager and the same is taken on record. The matter adjourned and kept for hearing on 02-12-2022. During the course of hearing, both the parties remained present. The matter adjourned and kept for final hearing on 08-12-2022 at 4.30 p.m.
And whereas, the matter has been hear on 13-01-2023. The Advocate of the respondent stated that the issue is between the Headmaster and the Management and the issue can be sorted out. The representation of the PTA is not sufficient to qualify to take over the management under Section 20. The grant in aid provided by the Directorate of Education is credited to the Society account. In case of appointment, it is for the management to select a candidate and appoint them. He further submitted that the Society instructions were not followed by the Headmaster and only after the Headmaster was removed from the society, these allegations have cropped and personal elements cannot be reasons to take over the school. It was also submitted that the entire episode is to avoid the eventual suspension of the Headmaster as inquiry is contemplated.
And whereas, Advocate Nasnodkar admitted that fund was transferred to the Society which itself is illegal. Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Goa set aside the order of appointment of Principal of St. Thomas Higher Secondary School run by the same management. He also stated that NOC were issued by the Directorate of Education, but the post were not filled. He further stated that the maintenance grants have not been utilized. He also stated that there is no provision of hearing the matter under Section 20 of the Goa School Education Act, 1984.
And whereas, Adv. Padgaonkar representing the parents submitted the Vakalatnama and intervened. Advocate for the respondent objected as there was no formal representation and they were not party to the hearing.
Adv. Padgaonkar submitted that most important factor to be borne in mind is the student and that the Headmaster and the Management is inconsequential.
He also submitted that the allegations by the Headmaster have been admitted by the Management and that there was no attempt by the Management to sort out the issue and provide relief to the public, i.e. students/parents.
And whereas, the Headmaster of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona, Bardez-Goa filed his reply dated 21-11-2022 under the caption of response to the allegations made against him by the School Managing Committee, vide reply dated 15-11-2022.
1. In his reply, he has stated that the reply makes apparent nothing, but the vindictive attitude of the present members of the Fransalian Society which has infact resulted in a total downfall of the administration of the school.
2. While denying all the allegations made against
him, he has stated that it is rather unfortunate
the he has been sought to be made a scapegoat
and the entire blame has now been fastened
upon him.
3. He stated that he was appointed the Headmaster of St. Thomas Boys High School in the year June 2013.
4. He stated that for several years until 2019 when the dispensation of the executive
members and more particularly Fr. Jayaseelan
Selvaraj who became the Chairman, when the
functioning of St. Thomas Boys High School
saw a complete downfall.
5. He stated that the Society has conducted the affairs of the said school in a completely lackadaisical manner as often resorted to various illegalities over the functioning of the said school.
6. To illustrate one such incident, Fr. Jerard Sahayaraj was appointed as the Principal of St. Thomas Higher Secondary School, Aldona OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 in the absence of essential qualification, which appointment was set aside by the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Goa in Writ Petition No. 1354/2021 (F).
7. It is stated that the School Managing Committee as well as the Society have been constantly harassing the staff members which often go unreported as the teaching and working staff are afraid of dire consequences.
8. Various vacancies have been lying unfilled for several years to the post of Primary School, Maternity leave, CCL leave, Non-Renewal of the appointments of the Librarian and Watchman etc. the said issues were highlighted to the School Managing Committee on several occasions, despite which no steps were taken by the Society to fill the said vacancies despite required NOCs being granted by the Directorate of Education.
9. In so far as the issue of maintenance is concerned, the undersigned personally addressed various communications to the School Managing Committee for last several years despite which no action has been taken by the Society to carry out any such maintenance.
10. It is stated that only belatedly and perhaps as a knee-jerk reaction to the Show Cause notice issued by this Department, whereby the Management is now trying to create an impression to show that they are infact in control of the situation and taking remedial measures, which if he may submit in only on paper and no action whatsoever is taken by the Management to improve the dwindling State of the affairs of the School.
11. The Director of Education during an hearing
scheduled on 3rd November, 2022 at 4.00 p.m. wherein, he clearly pointed out that the school Manager cannot function till he has approval from the Directorate of Education. Despite this observation, the Management, in total disregards has replied to the show cause notice dated 25-08-2022 issued by your office and the same has been signed by one Fr. Winston Barboza who is an incompetent authority. This makes manifestation, the Managements challenging stand to the directives of the Director of Education.
12. He stated that he is producing copies of various representations made by him on the issue from time to time and have deliberately refrained from dealing para wise to the allegations made against him as the records of the matter itself and perusal of the letters as enclosed herewith will completely belie the case of the Management. Moreover, he is not in a crusade against the Society but have throughout acted in the interest of his students and staff members alike and perhaps for not having aided the Society in their oblique ways of functioning as well as intentions he has today became more of an eyesore for them is why they are acting with a personal vengeance against him.
In its replies the School Managing Committee does not deny that there are leakages in the class room and that the rafters have come loose in the school building. In fact the replies showcase that the approach taken by the school is of total ignorance where the committee seems to be completely oblivious as to the state of affairs of its school. The School Managing Committee in its reply blames the Headmaster for not having communicated the need for repairs and maintenance of the school building. The reply at paragraph 13 states that "I had no knowledge of the repair works that need to be done. The headmaster has to learn the chain of communication." Further at paragraph 17 the School Managing Committee states that, "The Headmaster never handed over the keys of the school campus to the Manager to exercise his duties as the Manager, until just recently, on 1st of November, 2022, a small bunch of about 5 keys were handed over to him, though not all the keys of the school. The Manager was always locked out of the school campus and could not do the maintenance work during the school holidays or whenever the children were out of the school keeping in mind the safety of the children during any major works." There is a complete lackadaisical approach on the part of the School Managing Committee on such a serious issue.
The grievance raised by the Parents of the school vide complaint dated 11-07-2022 is of a very serious nature. Maintenance of proper infrastructure of school is of vital importance and plays a crucial role in the education of the students. Any lapse in the maintenance of school infrastructure can be a potential life hazars and be a life threatening situation to put the students in. As showcased by the complaints the students have to be shifted to safer blocks to conduct classes.
The School Managing Committee in its reply has no answer to this. Under the Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules made thereunder, it is the duty of the School Managing Committee to maintain proper infrastructure of the school building and to ensure that the building is adequate and suitable for an educational institution. The general tenor of the reply and submission of the School Managing OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 Committee is to claim ignorance of the infrastructural failures and blame the lapses of the school managing committee on the Headmaster. Rule 37 of the Goa, Daman and Diu School Education Rules, 1986 provides as under:
37. Conditions for recognition.— No private school shall be recognised or continue to be recognised, by the Director unless the school fulfils the following conditions, namely:-
(vi) the Managing Committee observes the provision of the Act and the Rules made thereunder and the instructions issued by the Director of Education or his authorised subordinate officer from time to time;
(vii) the building or other structure in which the school is carried on, its surroundings; furniture and equipment are adequate and suitable for an educational institution, where there is any business premises in any part of the building, in which such school is run, the portion in which the school is run is adequately separated from such business premises;
The School Managing Committee in its reply makes a general denial as to the allegation that adequate teachers and staffs are not being appointed. However, in the same breath it goes on to state that "The process of appointment and recruiting of the staff is already in motion and will be completed at the earliest." The very fact that they acknowledge that the appointment and recruiting of the staff is in process, is an admission on their part that the same has not been carried out as of now. The Managing Committee has failed to state the steps it has taken to initiate the appointment process. Teachers are the backbone of the school. If the requisite number of teachers are not appointed keeping in mind the strength of the students of the school, it over-burdens the existing teachers and they in turn are not able to give their 100% to educating the students. Without the required number of teachers it is not possible to run an educational institution. It is the duty of the School Managing Committee to ensure that the requisite number of teachers are appointed. There is a total lapse on the part of the managing committee in this regard. Moreover, in its reply the School Managing Committee goes on to blame the Headmaster yet again for the lapses on its part. The duties, powers and responsibilities of the managing committee under the Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules made thereunder, include the control the staff of the school including the Headmaster. There is a total dereliction on the part of school managing committee to perform its duties and responsibilities, as is required under the Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules made thereunder.
As is evident from the replies and submissions of the school managing committee, there is a complete failure on the part of the managing committee to ensure that the school is operated in a proper manner, as is required to do so under the Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules made thereunder. Rule 46(2)(h) of the Goa, Daman and Diu School Education Rules, 1986 provides as under:
46(2)(h) the duties, powers and responsibilities of the head of the school, which shall provide that he shall:-
(iii) be responsible for the proper maintenance of accounts of the school, subject to such authorisation by the Managing Committee, and maintain school records, service books of teaching and non teaching staff and such other registers, returns and statistics as may be specified by the Director from time to time;
With regards to the ground of the maintained grants not being utilized properly by the management, there is an admission on the part of the School Managing Committee that the same were transferred to the Society's account and have not been utilized. On 13-01-2023, the Advocate of the School Managing Committee stated that the grant in aid provided by the Directorate of Education is credited to the Society account. In case of appointment, it is for the management to select a candidate and appoint them. In its reply the School Managing Committee, yet again, blames the Headmaster of a criminal conspiracy for the funds not being properly utilized. The grant in aid provided by the Government have to be kept in a separate account and must not be transferred to the Society's account. Further, these grants have to be utilized for the purposed they are granted. The School Managing Committee has committed gross digressions on both these accounts. Not only they transferred the grant in aid to the Society's account, they have not been able to utilize is for the required purposes.
Section 20 (1) of the Goa School Education Act,
1984 provides as under:
20. Taking over management of school.— (1) Whenever the Administrator is satisfied that the Managing Committee or Manager of any recognized school,—
(i) has contravened any provision of this Act
or of any rule or order made thereunder, or
(ii) has neglected to perform any duty or
obligation imposed on it by or under this Act, or OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 (iii) has mismanaged the affairs of the school
or has misappropriated or has misapplied any money standing to the credit of any Fund of the School, or
(iv) has managed the affairs of the schools in a manner prejudicial to the public interest, or
(v) has omitted or neglected to pay its share towards the medical facility, pension, gratuity, provident fund, and other prescribed benefits of the employees of the school, in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (2) of Section 13, or
(vi) has closed down the school or any class or section of the school in contravention of the rules made under this Act or any order, direction issued thereunder, or
(vii) has made a written representation expressing its inability to run the school, and that it is expedient in the public interest or in the interests of school education or in order to secure the proper management of the school to take over the management of such school, he may, after giving the managing committee or the manager of such school a reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the proposed action, take over the management of such school for a limited period not exceeding three years:
Provided that where the management of a school has been taken over for a period of three years or less, the Administrator may, if he is of opinion that in order to secure proper management of the school it is expedient that such management should continue to be in force after the expiry of the said limited period, he may, from time to time issue directions for the continuance of such management for such period not exceeding one year at a time as he may think fit, so, however, that the total period for which such management is taken over shall not, in any case, exceed five years.
The Hon'ble High Court of Bombay in the case of Anthony's High School Trust v. State of Goa, 1995 SCC OnLine Bom 128.: (1996) 5 Bom CR 33 has held that before an action under Section 20 can be justified not only one or the other of the seven grounds appearing in Section 20 have to be made good, but also it has to be found that the action of taking over the management is expedient in public interest or in the interest of the school education or in order to secure the proper management of the school. It is only when both these ingredients are held to have been satisfied that an action of taking over management under Section 20 of the Act can be justified. From the above it has been found that the School Managing Committee of the St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona has contravened the provisions of the Goa School Education Act, 1984 and Rules made thereunder:-
1. Neglected to perform duty/obligation imposed on it under Rule 37 (vii) and Rules 46(2)(h) of the Goa School Education Rules.
2. Mismanaged the affairs of the school.
3. Managed the affairs of the school in a manner
prejudicial to the public interest.
There seems to be complete mismanagement of the school and the School Managing Committee is far from being in control of the situation. The School Managing Committee have been conferred with various powers under the Act to ensure that the school is operated in a disciplined and an efficient manner. However, as admitted by the School Managing Committee itself, the management of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona is in a state of chaos. Proper maintenance of the school building, tending to the leakages of the school buildings, appointment of teachers are things which are essential aspects of school education, which are required to be performed by the school managing committee. Maintaining proper discipline in the school, ensuring that the staff perform their duties is the responsibility of the school managing committee. If these duties and responsibilities are not performed, a school cannot function. The lapses on the part of the school education committee have put the students and their education in jeopardy as a result it is eminent in public interest and in the interest of school education that St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona be taken over under Section 20 of the Goa School Education Act, 1984.
Now therefore, after detailed examination of the submissions of the parties hereto, the Government is convinced of the circumstances which call for immediate taking over of the Management of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona by invoking the provision of sub-section (1) of Section 20 of the Goa School Education Act, 1984.
Therefore, in accordance to the provisions of the said sub-section (1) of Section 20 of the Goa School Education Act, 1984, the Government hereby orders to take over the Management of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona with immediate effect for a period of three years in the first instance and Shri Melvin D'Costa, Asst. Director, Education, Directorate of Education is hereby appointed as Authorised Officer on behalf of the Director of Education, Government of Goa to manage the affairs of the school.

Among other things, the Authorised Officer shall:-
1. Exercise full control over administrative, financial and academic matters of the school and ensure that all the employees of the school are punctual in attendance and prompt in discharge of the duties entrusted to them by general or special orders as deemed fit.

3. Be responsible to ensure that all the employees of the school including the Headmaster are present in the school during office hours as prescribed by the Authorised Officer and no employee including the Headmaster shall be allowed to leave the premises of the school without prior written permission of the authorized officer and that representations, if any, shall be routed through the Authorised Officer.

The Government is also pleased to order that:
(i) The ex School Managing Committee of St. Thomas Boys High School, Aldona hand

He stated that the Employer is working continuously in all the three shifts throughout the year except on 26th January.
3. He stated that he was issued a charge-sheet dated 22-08-2013 by the Employer alleging certain misconducts and an enquiry was instituted against him. He stated that he was suspended w.e.f. 22-08-2013 pending enquiry. He stated that he was 4. He stated that he had initially attended the enquiry at Panaji by borrowing money from his brother, but he could not borrow money indefinitely and also could not engage any Defense Representative to represent him in the enquiry for want of subsistence allowance and transport expenses. He stated that he brought these facts to the notice of the Enquiry Officer from time to time and finally on 17-06-2014 sent a letter to the Enquiry Officer, denying the contentions of the Employer that he is self-employed from the date of his suspension. He stated that he had also requested the Enquiry Officer to direct the Employer to pay him subsistence allowance as well as TA/DA for attending the enquiry at Panaji and in the event of non-payment, he cannot attend the enquiry henceforth as he had no money to travel as well as to engage a Defense Representative to conduct his defense at Panaji. He stated that inspite of the aforesaid letter, the Ld. Enquiry Officer continued the enquiry and concluded the same ex-parte and submitted his report to the Employer. He stated that the Employer acted on the said report and issued him show-cause notice dated 22-09-2014 to show cause on the proposed punishment. He stated that vide letter dated 23-09-2014, he informed the Employer that the Ld. Enquiry Officer has violated the principles of natural justice, while conducting the enquiry by not giving him proper opportunities and that the findings of the Ld. Enquiry Officer are perverse and not based on evidence on record. He stated that he requested the Employer to furnish him the copies of the enquiry proceedings held after filing his letter dated 17-06-2014 to the Ld. Enquiry Officer and the reply of OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 the Management Representative on his letter dated 17-06-2014. He stated that he further requested the Employer to grant him 15 days' time to file his reply to the show-cause notice after furnishing him the documents requested for and also called the Employer to pay him subsistence allowance and re-open the enquiry thereafter, so as to participate in the enquiry. He stated that the Employer however, did not consider his request and issued him a letter of dismissal dated 25-10-2014 dismissing him from service with immediate effect.
5. He stated that at the time of his dismissal, a dispute in relation to non-payment of subsistence allowance was pending in conciliation before the Asstt. Labour Commissioner and Conciliation Officer, Ponda as well as before the Labour Court II, Panaji-Goa. He stated that he was concerned and connected with the said dispute and as such the Employer was required to follow the provisions of Section 33 of the said Act, before terminating his services. He stated that the Employer has contravened Section 33 of the said Act and as such the dismissal is non-est and illegal. He stated that he thereafter sent a letter dated 30-10-2014 to the Employer challenging his dismissal and calling upon the Employer to reinstate him in service with full back wages, continuity in service and consequential benefits. He stated that the Employer did not reply to his said demands. He stated that thereafter, he raised an industrial dispute before the Asstt. Labour Commissioner and Conciliation Officer, Ponda, Goa, vide his letter dated 15-11-2014. He stated that as the Employer did not agree to reinstate him with full back wages, continuity in service and consequential benefits, it was mandatory on the part of the ALC and Conciliation Officer to record failure of discussions and report the same to the appropriate Government within 14 days of such failure. He stated that the ALC and Conciliation Officer, Ponda, Goa, did not record the failure of the conciliation even though the Employer did not agree with the demand and delayed the matter further, which has caused him prejudiced. He stated that he therefore approached before this court directly u/s 2 A (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947 for adjudication of the dispute.
6. The Workman challenged the enquiry, findings of the Ld. Enquiry Officer and his dismissal by the Employer by contending that the Ld. Enquiry Officer was biased and prejudiced and conducted an ex-parte enquiry on 17-06-2014 inspite of letter dated 17-06-2014 to him. He submitted that non-payment of subsistence allowance during the period of suspension, thereby depriving him of his legitimate right to appoint a Defense Representative in the enquiry and thus, prejudiced his defense. He submitted that non-payment of subsistence allowance during the period of suspension amounts to denial of opportunities in the conduct of his defense. He submitted that debarring him from attending the enquiry for want of funds. He submitted that the Ld. Enquiry Officer violates the principles of natural justice while conducting the enquiry. He submitted that non-supply of copies of documents mentioned in reply dated 23-09-2014 to the show-cause notice dated 22-09-2014, thereby preventing him a reasonable opportunity of showing cause on the proposed punishment. He submitted that not giving sufficient opportunity to file explanation to the show-cause on the proposed punishment and comments on the report of the Ld. Enquiry Officer. He submitted that the findings of the Ld. Enquiry Officer are not based on evidence on record and the Enquiry Officer has travelled beyond the scope of enquiry and has perverse. He submitted that the Employer has contravened Section 33 of the I.D. Act, 1947.
7. He stated that he is unemployed from the date of his suspension till 31-10-2014. He stated that he is presently working as a bill collector on specific contract of 12 months. He therefore, submitted that the action of the Employer in dismissing him from services w.e.f. 25-10-2014 is non-est, illegal, unjust and malafide. He submitted that the termination is disproportionate to the misconduct alleged to have been proved against him. He therefore, prayed that the action of the Employer in dismissing him from services w.e.f. 25-10-2014 be declared as non-est, illegal, unjust and malafide and that he continued to be in service with full back wages, other benefits, continuity in services and consequential benefits thereof.
8. The Employer resisted the claim of the Workman by filing its written statement on 30-11-2015 at Exb. 5. The Employer admitted that the Workman was employed with them as Electrician in maintenance department at their factory in Kundaim. The Employer admitted that the Workman was issued a charge-sheet dated 22-08-2013. The Employer admitted that the Workman was suspended pending enquiry. The Employer stated that during the pendency of the enquiry, the Workman made a representation date 05-01-2014 to the Labour Commissioner, claiming that he has been denied subsistence allowance. The Employer stated that by their letter dated 27-01-2014, the management contended that during the period of suspension the Workman has been self-employed as an electrician. The Employer admitted that they were also in receipt of the notice dated 18-02-2014 from the Asstt. Labour Commissioner on the subject matter of subsistence OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 allowance. The Employer stated that it has replied to the Asstt. Labour Commissioner by their letter dated 28-02-2014 stating that during the period of suspension, the Workman is employed as an electrician and hence, payment of subsistence allowance to the concerned employee does not arise. The Employer stated that the Workman has been delaying the enquiry proceedings and therefore, granting of any relief by way of subsistence allowance does not arise.
9. The Employer stated that on 06-09-2013, the Workman refused to sign the papers of the enquiry proceedings. The Employer stated that on 17-09-2013, he refused to accept the postal communication intimating the enquiry is scheduled on 27-09-2013 and remained absent for the enquiry. The Employer stated that the Workman again refused to accept the communication on 17-04-2014 and failed to remain present for the enquiry. The Employer stated that the Workman adopted all efforts and ploys to postpone the enquiry. The Employer stated that the delay in completing the enquiry can only be attributed to the Workman and hence, he is not entitled for subsistence allowance. The Employer denied that the Workman is not entitled to conduct
the enquiry in Panaji or that the enquiry has to be necessarily conducted in Kundaim, which is the place of his employment. The Employer stated that the claim for subsistence allowance is not an industrial dispute and in any event the said dispute was not admitted in conciliation proceedings and in fact the employee was not attending the proceedings before the Asstt. Labour Commissioner and as such the question of making an application u/s 33 of the I. D. Act, does not arise. The Employer prayed that in the event the enquiry is set aside on any grounds, they may be permitted to lead fresh evidence in support of the charge.
10. The Employer stated that the charge-sheet issued to the Workman as he was involved in the following acts of misconducts:
(a) Clause 25 (c)– Willful slowing down in performance of work, or abetment or instigation thereof.
(b) Clause 25 (f)– Habitual absence without leave or absence without leave for more than ten consecutive days or overstaying the sanctioned leave without sufficient grounds or proper or satisfactory explanation.

(d) Clause 25 (n)– Habitual breach of any rules or instructions for the maintenance and running of any department, or the maintenance of the cleanliness of any portion of the establishment
11. The Employer stated that an enquiry was conducted into charge-sheet dated 22-08-2014, by appointing Mr. Prasanna Chawdikar as Enquiry Officer. The Employer stated that during the enquiry, the management was represented by Mr. Yeshwant Parab, its Manager-HR and the Workman was initially represented by Mr. Deepak Dhuri as his Defense Representative. The Employer stated that thereafter the Workman chose to represent his case in person. The Employer stated that the enquiry against the Workman commenced on 06-09-2013 and concluded on 17-06-2014. The Employer stated that the management examined Mr. Laxman Kopardekar, Mr. Sidharth Volvoikar and Mr. Sunil Lal as their witnesses. The Employer stated that all the witnesses were duly cross-examined by the Defense Representative. The Employer stated that the Workman did not examine any witnesses in support of his defense. The Employer stated that the Ld. Enquiry Officer has followed the well-established principles and has tested the evidence of both the parties. The Employer stated that the Ld. Enquiry Officer concluded that the management has proved the charges. The Employer stated that the findings given by the Ld. Enquiry Officer are based on the evidence on record of the enquiry. The Employer stated that the enquiry has been conducted by the Ld. Enquiry Officer in accordance with the principles of natural justice. The Employer stated that proper opportunity of defending was offered to the Workman in enquiry. The Employer stated that the Enquiry
Officer considered the objections if any raised by the Workman or his representative during the said enquiry. The Employer stated that the Ld. Enquiry Officer has acted in an impartial manner. The Employer stated that the findings given by the Ld. Enquiry Officer are reasoned findings and are based on evidence on record. The Employer stated that the quantum of punishment by way of dismissal is proportionate to the gravity of misconduct and no interference is called for. The Employer denied the overall case as pleaded by the Workman and prayed for rejection of the present reference.
12. Thereafter, the Workman filed his Re-joinder on 23-12-2015 at Exb. 06. The Workman, by way of his Re-joinder, denied each and every statement, averments and submissions made by the Employer, OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 7 18TH MAY, 2023 vide their Written Statement filed in the present proceedings and reiterates and confirms the statements, averments and submissions made by him in his statement of claim. The Workman stated that his request to allow the office bearer of his union to represent him in the enquiry was disallowed and as such he had no other alternative to represent his case himself, though he was not at all well verse in the conduct of the cross-examination of the management witnesses.
13. Based on the pleadings filed by the respective parties this Hon'ble Court framed the following issues on 15-02-2016 at Exb. 9.
1. Whether a free, fair & proper enquiry has been conducted against the Workman/Party I in respect of charge-sheet dated 22-08-2013 in accordance with the principles of natural justice r/w provisions of certified standing orders of the Employer?
2. Whether the charges of misconduct leveled against the Workman vide charge-sheet dated 22-08-2013 have been proved to the satisfaction of this court by acceptable evidence?

is entitled for any relief?

REASONS
Issue No. 1:
To prove his case, the Applicant has examined himself. The Applicant also produced on record certain documentary evidence in support of oral evidence. The said oral as well as documentary evidence on record remained unchallenged for want of denial.
The evidence on record indicates that the Applicant was working with the Opponent as Security Guard since September 2016 till 07-09-2020. The evidence on record indicates that the Applicant was not paid his monthly salary for the month of March 2020 till 07-09-2020. The total amount the Applicant is entitled to receive from the Opponent is Rs. 1,18,158/- towards the unpaid salary of March 2020 till 07-09-2020. Thus the Applicant is entitled to receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 1,18,158/-. The Applicant therefore proves that he is entitled to receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 1,18,158/- towards his unpaid wages. The Issue No. 1 is therefore answered in the affirmative.
The Applicant is also entitled for the interest on
the said amount of Rs. 1,18,158/-. Accordingly the
said amount of Rs. 1,18,158/- shall be paid to the
Applicant along with interest at the rate of 9% per
annum.
In view of above I pass the following order:
