Heard learned Counsel appearing for respective parties. 2. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 20-12-2010, passed by the learned Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Aurangabad, in Misc. Application No. 4/2009, thereby rejecting the application filed by the petitioner for condonation of delay of 110 days in filing appeal against the order of termination. 3. The petitioner's prayer for condonation of delay is rejected by the School Tribunal after noticing that the petitioner had paid some amount as bribe for procuring appointment. 4. After hearing Adv. Mr. Jadhavar, for the petitioner, I am satisfied that amount was not paid for procuring appointment but for procuring / restoring approval which was already granted. The nature of payment, however, does not undergo any change thereby. In this situation, I am not inclined to interfere in writ jurisdiction. (3) 5. In the result, the petition is dismissed. No costs.
