1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD. Writ Petition No.1736 Of 2010 DISTRICT: JALGAON Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders. Court’s or Judge’s order Coram: A.M. Khanwilkar & S.S. Shinde, JJ. Date: 4th March 2010 ----- 1) Heard counsel for the parties. 2) The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.2 has still not decided the proposal regarding appointment of the petitioner submitted as back as on 19th March 2001. We are shocked and pained to notice such casual and indifferent attitude of the respondent No.2, who is obliged to consider such proposal under the rules. 3) The learned Assistant Government Pleader invites our attention to a communication dated 14th February 2007 sent by the Education Officer to the Deputy Director of Education. If the school has not complied with certain formalities the Education Officer ought to have taken 2 necessary steps to ensure such compliance by the school. But the petitioner cannot be blamed for the pendency of the proposal nor he should suffer on account of the above said reason. 4) Be that as it may, we direct the respondent No.2 to ensure that the proposal pertaining to the appointment of the petitioner is considered one way or the other on its own merits and final decision is taken thereon not later than three months from today. Besides, the respondent No.2 shall communicate the decision to the petitioner within the same time. All questions are left open to be considered on its own merits. 5) The petition is disposed of on the above terms. (S.S. SHINDE,J.)(A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.) rsl/ wp.1736.10
