Direction for reinstatement of the petitioner into service and extension of consequential benefits, is also prayed for.

Her services were regularized, on successful completion of probation, through order, dated 23. 12. 1998.

It is alleged that he went on issuing memos, one after the other, on slightest of the pretexts. It is stated that a letter of resignation was forcibly extracted from her on 21. 06. 1999, and that she has immediately protested against the course of action, adopted by the concerned officials. She filed a petition before the District Legal Services Authority, ranga Reddy District. Placing reliance upon the recent Judgment of the supreme Court in State Bank of Patiala vs. Phoolapati, it is contended that the impugned proceedings cannot be sustained in law. In her affidavit, the petitioner has narrated several other facts, which cannot be treated as germane or relevant for the purpose of this Writ petition. ( 3 ) THE respondent filed a counter affidavit. A serious objection is taken to the maintainability of the Writ Petition, on the ground that the School was established by a Society, registered under the Provisions of the Societies registration Act. The allegation of the petitioner that she has been subjected to harassment and victimization was denied. It is stated that the letter of resignation submitted by the petitioner was accepted and that no exception can be taken to it. ( 4 ) THE petitioner presented the case by appearing in person.

Narayana Reddy, the learned counsel for the respondent submits that the resignation of the petitioner was found to be voluntary and it was accepted, after due verification.
