Learned counsel for the parties submit that the challenge raised in these petitions and the challenge in Writ Petitions Nos.10933/2010, 11109/2010, 122/2011, 127/2011 and 1998/2011 is identical and hence they pray for disposing of this group of writ petitions in terms of the order dated 31.3.2011, by WPs 1152/11, 1223/11, 2949/11, 2978/11, 2778/11, 2779/11, 2955/11 & 2956/11 (4) which the said group of petitions has been disposed of. Writ Petitions Nos.2778/2011, 2779/2011, 2955/2011 and 2956/2011 were not on today’s Board, but are taken on the Board at the request of learned counsel for the petitioners on account of the issue being similar and that they can be disposed of by common order. 2. These writ petitions are filed by several petitioners, seeking similar relief. The prayers made in all the writ petitions are identical. The prayer made in one of the writ petitions reads thus : "The respondent No. 3 may kindly be directed to appoint / absorb the petitioners in the service of the Zilla Parishads, Aurangabad/Jalna/Beed, as para-teacher as per the Govt. Resolution dtd. 31st July, 2009." 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the petitioners would be satisfied if they are allowed to make a representation to the Chief Executive Officer of the respective Zilla Parishads, WPs 1152/11, 1223/11, 2949/11, 2978/11, 2778/11, 2779/11, 2955/11 & 2956/11 (5) for the prayer, as made in the present writ petitions, and if the Chief Executive Officers are directed to consider their representations in the light of the judgment of this Court dated 13th October, 2010 in a group of three writ petitions, being writ petition Nos. 2254/2010, 4447/2010 and 4449/2010, and the order dated 31.3.2011 in Writ Petitions Nos.10933/2010, 11109/2010, 122/2011, 127/2011 and 1998/2011, within time-frame. Learned counsel, appearing for the respondents, have no objection for granting the prayer as made. However, they submit that case of every individual petitioner will be considered separately by the respective Chief Executive Officer. 4. Having considered the overall facts and circumstances of the case, so also the judgment of this Court dated 13th October, 2010 in a group of aforementioned three writ petitions, as also the order dated 31.3.2011 in Writ Petitions Nos. 10933/2010, 11109/2010, 122/2011, 127/2011 and 1998/2011, we are satisfied that the following WPs 1152/11, 1223/11, 2949/11, 2978/11, 2778/11, 2779/11, 2955/11 & 2956/11 (6) directions would meet the ends of justice. "Every individual petitioner is allowed to make a representation to the Chief Executive Officer of the respective Zilla Parishad, for the prayer, as made in the present writ petitions, with all the supporting documents and more particularly, the judgment of this Court dated 13th October, 2010 in a group of three writ petitions, within a period of four weeks from today. If the representations, as aforementioned, are made by the petitioners, the Chief Executive Officer of the respective Zilla Parishad to consider their representations on merits in accordance with law and in the light of the observations made by this Court in the judgment dated 13th October, 2010 in the group of three writ petitions, as expeditiously as possible and preferably, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of their representations. The WPs 1152/11, 1223/11, 2949/11, 2978/11, 2778/11, 2779/11, 2955/11 & 2956/11 (7) Chief Executive Officers to pass separate speaking order on the representations made by the petitioners, and communicate the same, within a period of two weeks from the date of passing the final order. If, for any reason, the Chief Executive Officer is not inclined to allow the petitioner's representation for the prayer made therein, he shall give an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners before passing the final order. All contentions of the parties are kept open. It is also open to the petitioners to place, along with the representation, a copy of the writ petition/s with all annexures thereto and the reply-affidavits with all annexures, before the concerned Chief Executive Officer. With these observations, the writ petitions are disposed of.” [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [D.B. BHOSALE, J.] ndk/c184118
