1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.3393/2009 Ashok S/o Shivnath Dongard Vs. M.A.T. Nagpur and others. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : 7/10/2009 Heard Mr. Sudame, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Sonak, learned AGP for respondents 2 to 4. By this petition, the petitioner has challenged interim order dated 7.7.2009 passed by Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Bench at Nagpur in Original Application No. 443/2009 refusing interim relief to the petitioner against the order of reversion. The Tribunal has held that since the order of reversion has not been passed, the petitioner was not entitled to interim order. Mr. Sudame has placed reliance upon several orders passed by the Tribunal in similar matters in which interim relief has been granted by the Tribunal. According to Mr. Sudame, there was no justification for refusing interim relief to the petitioner and granted interim relief to other applicants, who had approached the Tribunal with similar facts. Affidavit filed on behalf respondents 2 and 3 is absolutely of no help for deciding the petition inasmuch as the averments made in the petition have not been dealt with and 2 the affidavit has been filed in most casual manner. In view of the above, we dispose of the petition by passing the following order:- The impugned order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Bench at Nagpur dated 7.7.2009 is quashed and set aside. The Tribunal shall consider prayer for interim relief sought by the petitioner afresh and pass appropriate orders in view of the observations made above and in accordance with law expeditiously and in any case within a period of six weeks from today. Till the Tribunal passes order, status quo as on date to continue. The petition stands disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE Ambulkar
