1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 1538 OF 2010 Shri SAnt Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Bahu Uddeshiya Shikshan Prasarak Mandal & another .. PETITIONERS VERSUS Kum. Pratibha d/o Govindrao Bakwad & others .. RESPONDENTS Mr. A.V. Patil, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. A.N. Gaddime, Advocate for respondent no. 1. ===== CORAM : R. M. BORDE, J. DATE : 23rd MARCH, 2010 PER COURT : 1 The petitioner / institution is raising exception to the order passed by the school tribunal on 12-11-2009 accepting the request made by the respondent / teacher in respect of condoning delay in presenting the appeal to the tribunal. 2 It is the contention of the petitioner that there were no justifiable grounds put forth by the teacher / respondent herein while seeking 2 condonation of delay in presenting the appeal. On perusal of the record it transpires that the respondent / teacher is making grievance in respect of oral termination dt. 1-3-2007. The employee approached the Grievance Committee by presenting application on 30-3-2007. Ultimately, it was found that the application before the Grievance Committee is not entertainable and as such, the same was withdrawn by the teacher on 25-2-2009 and immediately thereafter, the employee approached the school tribunal by presenting the appeal. Delay that has occurred in presenting the appeal stands explained in view of the facts stated above. The tribunal has considered all the relevant circumstances and by recording reasons in support of the order has allowed the application tendered by the respondent seeking condonation of delay. I do not find any reason to interfere in the well-reasoned order passed by the tribunal, in exercise of extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Petition is devoid of substance hence, stands rejected. 3 Pending civil application, if any, stands disposed of. ( R. M. BORDE, J.) dyb/office/wp1538.10.odt
