“The suspension order could not be handed over to Prasad Pagi, as he was not available till his detention and release on bail from police custody on Friday.”
Asked when the suspension order would be served to the teacher, Gaunkar said the suspension order has been signed by him.
“The suspension order has been kept with the school with instructions to serve when he visits the school. Though I was not present, it is possible the school has served the suspension order on Saturday when he came to the school,” informed Gaunkar.
The suspension of the accused teacher became inevitable, with the filing of an FIR and his subsequent arrest by Canacona police.
