1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO.85 OF 2008 IN WRIT PETITION NO.4775 OF 2005. (HAROON SHAH ISMAIL SHAH. Vs MOHAMADIYA SHIKSHAN SANSTHA & OTH..) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Shri R.L.Khapre, Advocate for Appellants. Shri M.R.Joharapurkar, Advocate for Respondents No.2 & 3. CORAM : K.J.ROHEE & R.C.CHAVAN, JJ. DATED : MARCH 25, 2008. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Services of the appellant as Laboratory Assistant came to be terminated by order dated 19.09.2001 w.e.f. 14.09.2001. According to the appellant, he got knowledge of the termination order only on 19.04.2004 and thereafter he preferred an appeal before the School Tribunal on 30.04.2004. The School Tribunal found that there was no sufficient cause for the delay of 3 years and 14 days in preferring the appeal. The School Tribunal, therefore, rejected the application for 2 condonation of delay in preferring the appeal. The said order was confirmed by the learned single Judge, by observing that the appellant should not have waited for fulfillment of the alleged promise given by the management. It may be noted that the appellant has not produced documents to show that during this long span of 3 years and 14 days he made representation to the management and waited for decision. Even otherwise, it is difficult to believe that the appellant waited for 3 years and 14 days for favourable decision from the management. 3. In view of this, we see no reason to interfere with the impugned order. The Letters Patent Appeal is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE RR.
