IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 3709 OF 2011 Gram Vikas Seva Mandal ...Petitioner V/s. The Education Officer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad, Nashik, & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. M.M. Sathaye for the Petitioner Mr. C.R. Sonawane, A.G.P., for Respondents No. 1 and 2 Mr. J.D Khairnar for Respondents No. 3 CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR AND R.Y. GANOO, JJ. DATE: 5TH AUGUST, 2011 P.C.:- The grievance in this petition is in respect of approval granted by respondent No. 1 to the appointment of respondent No. 3 dated 17th February, 2007. According to the petitioner, which claims to be the real Management of the institution, the proposal of respondent No. 3 for approval was submitted by unauthorised person, and not by the petitioner-Management. On that basis, it is contended that the approval order issued by respondent No. 1 be set aside, and instead, respondent No. 1 be directed to re-consider the proposal afresh on its own merits, keeping in mind the documents on which the petitioner would like to rely, which would suggest that the appointment of respondent No. 3 was not valid and proper. 2. We have no difficulty in acceding to the request of the petitioner. However, that does not mean that we are accepting their contention that respondent No. 3 was not appointed by the appropriate authority of the Management. That question will have to be considered by respondent No. 1 on its own merits, in accordance with law. All disputes in that behalf are left open. 3. We make it clear that respondent No. 1 shall give opportunity of hearing to all concerned before taking final decision on the proposal for approval to the appointment of respondent No. 3. 4. The parties shall appear in the office of respondent No. 1 on 18th August, 2011 at 11.00 a.m., on which date, respondent No.1 shall fix the schedule of hearing. Respondent No. 1 shall ensure that the proceedings are finally decided, one way or the other, expeditiously, in any case not later than 30th September, 2011. Parties undertake to co-operate with respondent No. 1 for early hearing of the proceedings. 5. This petition stands disposed of. R.Y. GANOO, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.
