BHOSALE & R.M. BORDE,JJ. DATED : 23.02.2011 P.C. :- 1. Heard learned Counsel for the parties. In this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has made following prayers :- “B) By passing an appropriate writ, order or direction, it may be directed to the respondents to deposit the salary of the petitioner of Rs. 6,76,880/- approximately, who has been working as an Assistant Secondary Teacher with the respondent no.5 since 10/8/2002 to till today in this Hon’ble High Court. C) By passing an appropriate writ, order or direction, it may be directed to the respondent nos. 4 & 5 to deposit the salary of the petitioner ( 2 ) wp4675.09 of Rs. 6,76,880/- approximately, who has been working as an Assistant Secondary Teacher with the respondent no.5 since 10/8/2002 to till today in this Hon’ble High Court.” 2. Admittedly, respondent No.5 - School was not getting grants during the relevant period, insofar as salary of the petitioner is concerned. Moreover, it is pertinent to note that the petitioner is seeking recovery of arrears of salary for the period from 2002 to 2006 by filing this writ petition in July, 2009. Keeping that in view and considering the nature of prayers in our opinion this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not maintainable. Hence the petition is dismissed. 3. The dismissal of this petition shall not preclude the petitioner from taking appropriate remedy, if any, for redressal of his grievance. [R.M. BORDE,J.] [D.B. BHOSALE,J.] snk/2011/FEB11/wp4675.09
