11.wp.1362-10 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITON NO.1362 OF 2010 Shri Prafulla Shantaram Madhale. ..Petitioner. Versus The Sangli Zilla Parishad and others. ..Respondents. .... Mr.N.V. Bandiwadekar, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr.S.N. Patil, AGP, for the Respondents - State. .... CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 25, 2010. P.C. 1. The petitioner was initially appointed to the post of Junior Accounts Officer on the basis of the recommendation made by the Knowledge Corporation. Subsequently however the Knowledge Corporation informed the Zilla Parishad that they recommended the name of the petitioner under a mistake. Therefore an order terminating the petitioner was issued. That order was stayed by this Court and the Secretary of the Rural Development & Water Conservation Department was directed to look into the matter and make order after granting an 11.wp.1362-10 2 opportunity of being heard to the concerned parties. The Secretary has now made an order and he has noted in the order that the answer books of both the candidates involved were physically verified and even the candidates were also permitted to verify the answer books and thereafter it is found that respondent No.5 has secured more marks than the petitioner. Thus, it is established, as a fact, that the claim of the petitioner was recommended by the Knowledge Corporation under a genuine mistake. In our opinion, therefore, no exception can be taken to the proposed action of the Zilla Parishad. Petition is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH,J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
