JUDGMENT B.N. Sapru, J. - The petitioner was appointed as Head Master of Nagar Palika Primary Pathashala, Yojna, VI, Mohalla No. 2, Bilsi which was run by the Municipal Board, Bilsi. Thereafter, it appeared that the petitioner was served with a charge-sheet dated 25/27 8-1965 under the signature of the Chairman of the Education Committee and also placed under suspension. This was followed by a second charge-sheet dated 35-5-1966. According to the petitioner, an enquiry was conduct by the Chairman of the Education Committee who by its decision dated 21-12-1967 decided that no charges were made out against the petitioner. 2. The order, according to the petitioner, was not complied with by the Executive Officer. He continued under suspension. The petitioner, according to him, was not given any subsistence allowance. He, accordingly, filed a writ petition praying that a writ of mandamus be issued commanding the respondents to hand over the charge of Head Master to the petitioner and also to pay his salary and allowances since 21-8-1965 upto date. In the alternative, it was prayed that a writ of mandamus be issued directing the opposite-parties to decide the case forthwith any pay the petitioner his suspension allowance from 16-8-1965. 3.
