DATE : 1ST JULY 2010 COURT'S ORDER (Per B.R. Gavai, J.) : 1. Mr. R.N. Dhorde, learned Counsel appearing for respondent nos.1 and 2, states that after the orders passed by the School Tribunal, the petitioners were continued in service and thereafter, all of a sudden, they have stopped attending the Polytechnic College. On account of absenteeism, their services were terminated on 24th January 1998. He further submits that after this fact was brought to the notice of this court on 22nd September 1998, status quo, which was granted, was vacated by this court. An affidavit on behalf of respondent nos.1 and 2 has also been filed to that effect. 2. Mr. V.J. Dixit, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners, states that the petitioners have not brought this (5) fact to his notice and the petitioners are also not in touch with their Counsel since 1998. 3. We do not see any reason to disbelieve the affidavit filed on behalf of respondent nos.1 and 2, that the services of the petitioners have been terminated. It is also a matter of record, that when this fact was brought to the notice of this court on 22nd September 1998, this court has vacated the interim relief. 4. It, thus, appears that the petitioners in these petitions are not interested in prosecuting the petitions. The petitions are, therefore, disposed of, as such. Rule is discharged. There shall be no order as to costs. ( S.V. GANGAPURWALA ) ( B.R. GAVAI ) JUDGE JUDGE ......................... bgp/wp1506etc
