1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. WRIT PETITION NO. 1253 OF 2007 (Mukhtar Ahmad Ghulam Husain .v. State of Maharashtra and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri M.V. Samarth, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri S.Y. Deopujari, AGP for the respondent No.1. Shri P.C. Madkholkar, Advocate for the respondent No.3. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 27TH NOVEMBER, 2008 Heard. By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order of the Municipal Corporation promoting the respondent No.3 to the post of Education Officer. The only ground on which the promotion is challenged is that the petitioner is a senior in service to the respondent No.3. But, the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner himself fairly states that there are no Rules framed obliging the Corporation to effect the promotion on the basis of seniority. If there is no Rule obliging the Corporation to effect the promotion according to the seniority, in our opinion, the Corporation was justified in adopting the process of selection for selecting the fittest person for 2 promotion. We see no merit in the petition. The writ petition is rejected as such. CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 7035 OF 2007 Since the writ petition is already rejected, no orders are required to be passed in the present civil application. Civil Application stands disposed of accordingly.
