Saibaba, who joined the school in 2003, was an Assistant Professor of English. Ever since his suspension in 2014, when he was arrested by the Maharashtra Police, his spouse and daughter have acquired half of his wage. With even that gone, Saibaba’s spouse Vasantha mentioned the household would face monetary hardship.
“We will definitely challenge his termination in court. Our appeal is pending in the Bombay High Court challenging his conviction and sentence. The matter is sub-judice. Yet they have taken this decision,” she mentioned.

In a “memorandum” on March 31, Principal Rakesh Kumar Gupta wrote: “The services of Dr. G N Saibaba, Assistant Professor, Ram Lal Anand College are terminated with immediate effect from the afternoon of March 31, 2021. Three months’ salary has been paid in his Savings Bank Account.”
Vasantha mentioned she acquired the doc by put up on Thursday. “We had received a show cause notice in 2019, but we had asked them for time since we needed to consult Saibaba. We have not even had a chance to meet him for the last year…” she mentioned.
Vasantha mentioned the household was utilizing Saibaba’s wage to repay their loans. While Vasantha is a homemaker, her daughter is pursuing MPhil from Jamia Millia Islamia.

Delhi University instructor Nandita Narain from the Committee for the Defence and Release for Saibaba mentioned: “In the case of SAR Geelani (who was convicted in connection with the Parliament attack case), his services were suspended, not terminated. When he got exonerated, he was able to join work again…” she mentioned. A school official mentioned if Saibaba’s conviction is overturned sooner or later, the school would abide by the courtroom’s resolution.
