State of Maharashtra & ors. ..Respondents ... Mr.A.M.Joshi for the petitioner. Mr.C.R.Sonawane, AGP for State. Mr.S.A.Ghaisas for Respondent No.3. Mr.S.V.Sadavarte for Respondent No.4. ... CORAM: D.K.Deshmukh & N.D.Deshpande,JJ DATED: 21st September, 2010 P.C.: 1. The Petitioner was admittedly the Head Master of the School on 6-6-2008, when the order was made by the State Information Kambli 2 wp2912.10 Commissioner directing him to make available the original service book of the Appellant before the Information Commissioner within 15 days. Admittedly the Petitioner was aware of this order on the date on which the order was made. He neither challenged this order in any court nor did he approach the Information Commissioner for extension of time to comply with the order nor did he approach the Information Commissioner for review of the order. He did nothing. He also did not comply with the order. Therefore, the Information commissioner imposed fine of Rs.25,000/- and directed the Management to make entry in the service book that the Petitioner has disobeyed the order made by the Information Commissioner and because of that he has been directed to pay fine of Rs.25,000/-. 2. The Petitioner makes a grievance only Kambli 3 wp2912.10 against that part of the order dated 30-12-2009 by which an entry is directed to be made in the service book of the Petitioner. According to the learned Counsel, this direction is without authority of law. 3. In our opinion, even assuming that this direction is without authority, this direction does not result in failure of justice. Because what is being recorded in the service book is fact. Admittedly, the State Information Commissioner, which is a statutory authority, has imposed a fine of Rs.25,000/- upon him. Taking of such entry in the service book is in public interest, so that the facts are recorded and the Petitioner cannot suppress them. 4. Taking overall view of the matter, therefore, in our opinion, there is no room Kambli 4 wp2912.10 to interfere. Petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K.Deshmukh, J.) (N.D.Deshpande, J.)
