Rule, returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. 2. The relevant facts are that the respondent had approached the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal by filing original application No.510 of 2006. That original application was finally decided by order dated 28th March 2007. The original application was dismissed. An application for review of that order was filed before the M.A.T. on the ground that in the affidavit, there were some incorrect statements made. That review application has been decided by order dated 25th June 2007. By the order dated 25th June 2007, the M.A.T. has not only set aside the order passed earlier but has allowed the original application filed by the respondent. The short submission made by the learned counsel appearing for petitioners is that if the Tribunal found that there was an error apparent on the face of the record in the original order dated 28th March 2007, the Tribunal could have recalled that order, restored the original application and then heard the original application on merits and disposed it off. The learned counsel appearing for respondent does not dispute the correctness of the submission made on behalf -3- of the petitioners. In our opinion, following order would meet the ends of justice. 2. The order of the M.A.T. dated 25th June 2007 passed in review application No.19 of 2007 is modified. the order of the M.A.T. setting aside the order dated 28th March 2007 passed in original application No.510 of 2007 is maintained, original application is restored to the file.
