    Case Summary: WP/8231/2023 Court Decision: The High Court of Bombay, Nagpur Bench allowed both petitions and quashed the Deputy Director's orders dated 31st October 2023 and 12th December 2023, holding that the Deputy Director lacked authority to entertain a third-party complaint against school employees and violated natural justice principles by providing no meaningful opportunity to respond. Key Reasoning: The court found the complainant (respondent No.4) had no locus standi as he was an unrelated retired bank employee and RTI activist with no connection to the school's operations. Government directives explicitly prohibit third-party complaints regarding private trust institutions. Additionally, the show-cause notice failed to specify particular misconduct charges, and the Deputy Director exercised non-existent review powers. The court imposed exemplary costs of ₹10,000 each on respondents 1, 2, and 4 for acting beyond authority. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
