Petitioner Sandeep Chandra had alleged in his petition filed on November 11, 1993 that the notices that were directed to be issued to the above two respondents in an earlier case filed by him against them for his termination from the club's membership were sent back. In fact, he contended, not only had the respondents refused to accept the notices served on them on October 28, 1993, but after reading them they had actually hurled abuses against the petitioner and used derogatory language against the honourable court. The petition, however, was repeatedly being adjourned without any effective proceedings till February 2, 1995 and the court did not take cognizance of the contempt that is alleged to have been committed by the respondents. Several fruitless hearings later, the case was finally dismissed on August 28, closing the chapter on the protracted battle of the egos.

Notices to CBSE, SOS school
The Delhi High Court has issued notices to the secretary, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the president, SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools of India and the principal of the school's Faridabad branch on a petition filed by a school teacher challenging the termination of her services. Justice K. Ramamurthy has asked the respondents to reply to the petitioner's contentions before December 3, the next date of hearing.

Petitioner Alka Kaushik has contended before the court through her counsel Surat Singh that she had been working as a teacher in the Faridabad school since 1993 and that her work had been found to be exceptionally good. She was even given a promotion to the rank of Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) in August, 1996 and put on a probation. Just six days before the completion of her probation, however, she was issued a termination order, which she says casts a shadow on her career.

The petitioner has maintained that the results of her class X and XII students, whom she was teaching, were 100 per cent successful. Despite this, the charges on which the termination was based was that her work was found to be unsatisfactory. The petitioner has submitted that even the school's own termination rules had not been followed in her case.
