However, respondent no.4, out of malice, has levelled allegations against the petitioner that one dead roasted cockroach was found in a plate which was served to one teacher, and directed the petitioner to shut-down the School Canteen immediately. When the petitioner opened his Canteen on 16.8.2025, the respondent no.4 along with other employees of the School came and saw the Canteen as operational, therefore, he got annoyed, misbehaved and shut- down the School Canteen with the help of the employees forcefully and evicted the petitioner from the school premises. 4.
