However, Jayanth was later suspended for trying to “bribe” the governor. <br /><br />On February 25, 2014, Director of Technical Education (DTE) H U Talawar issued directions for his dismissal. The order notes that the said act (sending cheque to the governor), by the instructor amounts to “gross misconduct”. <br /><br />“I have not handed over charge in Chikmagalur to this day because the transfer was done flouting norms. The officials created false documents saying that I had handed over charge. They have fabricated several documents. How can they now dismiss me?” Jayanth told Deccan Herald adding that he would appeal before the Supreme Court. </p>
