1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY : AURANGABAD BENCH WRIT PETITION NO. 1080 OF 2009 Manohar s/o. Rangnath Jagtap - - - Petitioner versus The Managing Director, Mahatma Phule Backward Class Development Corporation Ltd. and others. - - - - - Respondents Shri Abhay R. Rathod, Advocate for petitioner. CORAM : B. R. GAVAI & N. D. DESHPANDE, JJ. Dated : 29th September 2009 ORAL ORDER [ PER B. R. GAVAI, J.] 1. The petitioner challenges the order of termination dated 31-5-2008. 2. It appears that the petitioner has been convicted and sentenced in Criminal Special Anti Corruption Case No. 3/2000 for the offence punishable under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Date of conviction is 9-4-2008. It appears that in pursuance thereof, the 2 order of termination is issued on 30-5-2008. Shri Rathod, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that since the order of sentence has been suspended by this Court on 29-4-2008, termination was not at all warranted. 3. On a specific query put to the learned Counsel, learned Counsel fairly concedes that the order of conviction has not been suspended by the High Court in the appeal preferred by the petitioner. 4. We do not find any infirmity in the order of termination since it is based upon conviction of the petitioner which admittedly has not been stayed by the superior Court. No merit is found in the petition. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. Needless to state that in the event the order of conviction is suspended, the petitioner would be always at liberty to make a representation which would be considered in accordance with law.
