Wp 10174.10 1 IN THE HICH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.10174/2010 Dharmanna Sadul Prashala Petitioner Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. Respondents Adv.Vishwasrao Deokar for petitioner Ms.S.S.Bhende,AGP for Res. CORAM- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE 13th April,2011 P.C. . The grievance of the petitioner is that no decision has been taken by the State Government on the proposal for granting approval to the appointment of petitioner nos.2 to 4 on the non teaching post in petitioner no.1 school. The reply affidavit filed by the respondents mentions that the petitioners were appointed after staffing pattern was approved by the State Government in the year 2002. In this context it is argued on behalf of the petitioners that subsequent to the staffing pattern of 2002 the State Government has approved staffing pattern vide Government Resolution dated 25/11/2005 and the petitioners’ case is squarely covered as per the said staffing Wp 10174.10 2 pattern. The reply affidavit, however, does not deal with this contention at all. Besides, we find that no final decision on the proposal for the petitioners’ appointment on the post of non teaching staff in the petitioner no.1 school has been communicated to the school or petitioner nos.2 to 4 so far. In the circumstances, we direct the Secretary,Education Department, State of Maharashtra to examine the grievance of the petitioners as raised in this petition and pass suitable directions as may be advised , after giving opportunity to the petitioners and other concerned persons and observing principle of natural justice. That be done as expeditiously as possible and in any case within 12 weeks from today. We make it clear that all the questions raised by the petitioners are left open, to be considered by the said authority . Petition is disposed of on above terms. (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.)
