1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.7207 OF 2006 Mahadeo Tukaram Nimbalkar ... ... Petitioner. Versus The Tehsildar, & Ors.... ... ... Respondents. Mr.B.P.Abhale for the Petitioner. Mr.P.M.Patil, AGP for the Respondents. CORAM: H. S. BEDI, C.J., & V. M. KANADE, J. DATED: NOVEMBER 13, 2006. P.C.: The petitioner has impugned the order of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai, passed in Original Application No. 385 of 2006 dated 4th September, 2006 rejecting his 2 application for appointment as police patil. The Tribunal has held that the procedure as envisaged under the statutory rules for appointment of a police patil had not been followed at the time of the petitioner's appointment and he could not, therefore, claim any benefit on account of his employment on a temporary basis. We find no infirmity in the order impugned. Hence, the petition is dismissed. Sd/- CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- V.M.KANADE, J.
