1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.5415 of 2008 (Shri Sharad Namdeorao Purohit v. Ravindranath Tagore Shikshan Mandal and others) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri S.M. Puranik, Advocate for Petitioner. Shri O.D. Kakde, AGP for R- 3. Shri Tariq M. Zoheer, Advocate, holding for Shri P.B. Patil, Advocate, for R- 3. Coram : R.C. Chavan, J. Dated : 1 st September, 2009 This petition is directed against the judgment of the School Tribunal, whereby the Tribunal allowed the appeal of respondent No.4 Shri Sharad Shende, dismissed the appeal of the present petitioner and directed the Management to promote respondent No.4 Shri Sharad Shende to the post of Head Master. The petitioner’s claim for appointment to the post of Head Master was based on the belief that his appointment was prior to the Full Bench judgment of this Court reported in New English High School Association v. State of Maharashtra, reported at 2006(5) Mh.L.J. 2 882, and, therefore, this judgment would not apply to the petitioner. This question has now been decided in Writ Petition Nos.1806 of 2008 and 1916 of 2008 by judgment dated 9-7-2009, whereby this Court held that judgment in Baldev Ade’s case operates retrospectively. In view of this, it cannot be said that the School Tribunal erred in dismissing the appeal of the petitioner. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. Judge. pdl
