The Divisional Controller -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr Anil Mardikar, Adv for petitioner Mr S.C. Mehadia, Adv for respondent Coram: D.D. Sinha and A. P. Bhangale, JJ Dated : 7th April 2011 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for respondent Corporation. 2. Mr S.C. Mehadia, learned counsel for respondent has brought to the notice of this Court that at the time of issuance of impugned communication dated 21.4.2010 by the Divisional Controller, the petitioner was working in the Office at Ratnagiri and the caste claim was also before the Caste Scrutiny Committee at Nasik. 3. In these circumstances, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the present writ petition with liberty to file petition before the principal Bench of the Bombay High Court at Mumbai and prayed that services of the petitioner may be protected for a period of three weeks from today. Mr Mehadia opposes the request of the petitioner for grant of protection. 2 4. Since the petition is permitted to be withdrawn for want of territorial jurisdiction so far as Nagpur Bench is concerned, in the interest of justice, we direct the respondent not to disturb the services of the petitioner for a period of three weeks from the date of this order. It is made clear that this protection would cease to operate automatically on expiry of three weeks. Writ Petition disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE joshi
