PER DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD,J.
This case has a checkered history. It is a saga of a gentle
lady relentlessly waging a series of legal battles, not being deterred
by the victory that eluded her, throughout.
2. Brief fact matrix:
(a) Petitioner joined the OP-School as Assistant Teacher w.e.f.
15.01.1991, pursuant to a particular advertisement, to which
response from the job market then was bleak. To her bad luck, she
was removed from service unceremoniously w.e.f. 10.01.1994, when
she was sent on deputation for training. She preferred departmental
appeal, which the Director of Secondary Education favoured, vide
order dated 19.08.1996, with a direction to reinstate her in service as
before. Management’s challenge to Director’s order in OJC No.1933
of 1998 was negatived by this Court vide order dated 13.12.2007.
