1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.4011 of 2009 (Shriram Shikshan Sanstha v. Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Nagpur, and another) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri S.S. Tambulkar, Advocate for Petitioner. Coram : R.C. Chavan, J. Dated : 18 th September, 2009 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. This petition is directed against the order passed by the learned Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Nagpur, allowing the amendment to the memo of appeal by the appellant. This amendment comes in the following context. The appellant before the School Tribunal first approached the Tribunal, contending that he had been terminated orally, i.e. otherwise than by following proper procedure. According to the petitioner, in fact he was suspended and thereafter an enquiry was held. After the enquiry, the petitioner- Management dismissed the appellant by order 2 dated 1-9-2008. Thereafter, in October 2008, the appellant filed an application for amendment, incorporating all these pleas and raising a challenge to his termination by order dated 1-9-2008. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that this could change the entire nature of the appeal, since what was first challenged was “otherwise termination”, whereas what is challenged now is termination by a written order dated 1-9-2008. He submits that this could have been independently challenged by an appeal rather than asking the appellant to file another appeal. Since these events have occurred during the pendency of the appeal, it would be appropriate for the School Tribunal to decide all the questions in one go. No error on the part of the learned Presiding Officer of the School Tribunal in allowing the amendment is seen. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. Judge. pdl
