1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICUATURE AT MUMBAI CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION REVIEW PETITION NO. 39 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 5454 OF 2009 Tanaji Mahadev Chougule. .. ... Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. ... Respondents. Mr. Prasant Bhavake with Mr. N. V. Bandiwadekar for the Petitioner. Mr. C. J. Sawant, Sr. Counsel with Mr. V. C. Ghosalkar for Respondent No.5. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATED : 22ND MARCH, 2010 P. C.: Learned Counsel holding for Mr. Bandiwadekar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, seeks adjournment. We are not inclined to grant adjournment. Hence the same is rejected. 2. The petitioner seeks review of the order of this Court dated 5th January, 2010 whereby the petition was dismissed. The petitioner placed reliance on a Circular dated 26th June, 2009 issued by the Government of Maharashtra. On consideration of the said Circular, it would be clear that those teachers who were appointed between 19th September, 1991 and 11th December, 1999 and were in service, their services were to be continued. In the instant case, the petitioner admittedly joined the service on 19th 2 June, 1999 i.e. within the period as set out in the circular of 26th June, 2009. However, the petitioner left the College in February, 2002 and thereafter rejoined in June, 2005. 3. In our opinion, once the petitioner ceased to be in the service of respondent No.5 – College, the petitioner would not be entitled to benefit of that circular, apart from the fact that the petitioner does not have requisite qualification. 4. In the light of above, there is no merit in the review petition which is, accordingly, dismissed. Sd/­ (F.I. REBELLO,J.) Sd/­ (A. A. SAYED, J.)
