2. In January, 1967, the petitioner was working as a clerk in the Olavakode division of the Southern Railway. When the petitioner was on leave and had been to Madras, he is said to have met, at the Madras Central Station, the Divisional Electrical Engineer, Sri P. D. Taneja. This was on 6-1-1967. The next day Sri Taneja is said to have called the petitioner to his room and seized the family privilege pass issued to the petitioner. Apparently the matter was taken to the Employees' Sangh. But the complaint to the Sangh was made not by the petitioner but by his wife. The Secretary of the Employees' Sangh is said to have prepared a petition addressed to the "Superintendent and the General Manager" of the Railway and got it signed by the petitioner's wife. The complaint in the petition was one of illegal seizure by Sri Taneja of the pass issued to the petitioner. It would further appear that in the complaint, mention was made that Sri Taneja was a person, who was detected by the travelling ticket checking staff to be taking his father-in-law without a ticket in the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, sometime earlier. The petitioner disowns any responsibility for the petition written by his wife. Whether it be as a result of the petition prepared by the secretary of the Employees' Sangh or not, the petitioner got back his pass within 10 days. The case of the petitioner is that ever since that time Sri Taneja was inimical towards the petitioner.
