1 wp10242.11.sxw ssm IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 10242 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra, Through- Principal Secretary, Finance Department and Ors. ....Petitioners. Vs. Shri Chandrakant Vitthalrao Guthe ...Respondent. Mr. A.B. Vagyani, AGP for the Petitioners. Mr. M.G. Gawade for the Respondent. CORAM :- D.K DESHMUKH AND ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. DATE :- 19 DECEMBER, 2011. P.C. :- Rule, returnable forthwith. 2 Heard finally by consent of the learned counsel appearing for the parties. 3 By this petition, the Petitioners-State Government challenges the order passed by the MAT. In the original Application filed before the MAT by the Respondent the order placing him under suspension and fixing his headquarter at Nandurbar was challenged. Perusal of the order passed by the MAT dated 8 April 2011 which is challenged in 2 wp10242.11.sxw ssm the Petition shows that the MAT has declined to interfere with the order of suspension. The MAT, however, was directed that the headquarter of the Respondent should be fixed at Thane. Perusal of the order of the MAT however, shows that there are no reasons given why the MAT has directed the Government to change the headquarter of the Respondent from Nandurbar to Thane. We asked the learned counsel appearing for the Respondent to show any reason given by the Tribunal for making that order. He could not. It is only that part of the order by which the State Government is aggrieved. As there are no reasons given by the MAT for directing the Government to shift the headquarter of the Petitioner from Nandurbar to Thane, in our opinion, the order to that extent has to be modified. 4 In the result, therefore, the Petition succeeds and is allowed. The order of the MAT directing the State Government to change the headquarter of the Respondent from Nandurabar to Thane is set aside. 5 Rule is made absolute. There shall be no order as to costs.
