1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6930 OF 2007 Harish Maganlal Baijal .... Petitioner. V/s The State of Maharashtra and Ors. .... Respondents. ------ Mr. Nitin Pradhan i/b Ms. Shubhada Khot for the Petitioner. Mrs. S.S. Bhende, AGP for the Respondents - State. ------ CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATE : 8th January, 2008 P.C.: Admittedly, Mr. Talpade was one of the 22 candidates initially recommended for appointment. At that time, admittedly, the Petitioner was on the waiting list. The Petitioner never challenged the recommendation of Mr. Talpade for appointment by the MPSC while keeping the name of the Petitioner on the waiting list. Therefore, now, the Petitioner cannot be permitted to claim seniority 2 before Mr. Talpade. The Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal has rightly appreciated the controversy. No interference is called for. Petition is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
