The tribunal, presided over by NP Kaushik, punished M. Aslam Parvaiz-the manager of Cambridge Primary School, New Friends Colony-and also imposed a Rs 1,000 fine. It also issued a warrant attaching the school's Rs 20 lakh bank account.

The tribunal punished the manager after it found that its August 30, 2007 order had been flouted, which had set aside the school's decision to enforce a compulsory retirement order against petitioner Kailash Chand Jain, an office assistant.
