The Delhi High Court on Friday dismissed a plea filed by Subha Kumar Dash, the suspended administrative officer of St. Stephen’s College challenging his suspension by the governing body on December 19 last year.
Justice Valmiki J Mehta dismissed the plea saying the governing body of college is entitled to take disciplinary action and that Dash has brought nothing on record to prove his suspension was malafide. The plea filed against the college, principal Valson Thampu and the governing body argued that Dash was suspended because he made allegations of irregularities in the college administration.
Dash, who sought quashing of the suspension order, also alleged that Thampu had also pressurised him to convert to Christianity. Dash had also filed a case earlier when he was suspended by the college but the latter revoked his suspension after which he withdrew the case.
