    The court partly allowed the petition and quashed the Education Officer's communication dated 23.04.2026 that prematurely withdrew petitioner Sunanda's financial and administrative powers before her term expired, finding it violated natural justice principles as no hearing was granted. The court directed the Education Officer to grant the petitioner a hearing within four weeks before any withdrawal decision and to consider her claim for permanent Headmistress appointment, recognizing that school rules require the seniormost lady teacher to lead girls' schools. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
