Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & P.D. KODE, JJ. AUGUST 11, 2011. Heard Shri Mohgaonkar, for the petitioner, Shri Sonare, learned AGP for respondents No. 1 & 2, Shri Kulkarni, learned counsel for respondent No. 3 and Shri Bhate, learned counsel for respondents No. 4 & 5. The facts show that the petitioner was earlier working on clock hour basis and thereafter selected as Peon. His appointment as Peon was duly approved. Almost after 9 years and by order dated 27.04.2011 that approval is being cancelled on the ground that he was over age at the time of his original appointment as Peon. Shri Mohgaonkar, learned counsel states that in similar circumstances, the age has been relaxed and the appointments have been regularized. He further states that the proposal for age relaxation in the case of the petitioner is pending with the Director of Higher Education and no steps upon it are taken till date. The learned AGP as also Bhate, learned counsel do not dispute this position. Shri Kulkarni, 2 learned counsel states that the proposal dated 31.08.2010 sent by the management is still pending. In the circumstances, interest of justice can be met with by directing the Director of Higher Education to decide that representation/ proposal at the earliest and in any case within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication of this order to it. With these directions and liberty to the petitioner that in case he is aggrieved thereafter he can approach this Court again, present writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Needless to mention that till then the position prevailing till 27th April 2011 shall continue. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
