1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.9912 OF 2009 Ichalkaranji Education Society & Ors. )..Petitioners Vs Ms.Jaya Balwant Khatavkar (after marriage Mrs.Jaya Ashok Koli) & Ors.)..Respondents ---- Mr.N.V. Bandiwadekar for the petitioners. Mr.Tanaji Mhatugade for the respondent no.1. Mr.P .I. Khemani AGP for the respondent no.2. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 3rd December, 2009. PC 1 By this petition the petitioners who are the management seek to impugn an order dated 31.10.2009 passed below Exh.27 in Appeal No.62/2009. By the impugned order the School Tribunal, Kolhapur has allowed the amendment to the appeal memo. It is seen that the order of termination dated 28.3.2002 was made effective from 31.5.2002 but before it took effect, an appeal was filed on 22.4.2002 and a stay of the termination order was obtained. The appeal was however, dismissed for non prosecution on 23.1.2009 and consequently, by an order dated 31.1.2009 the original appellant was dis-continued from the service. Amendment firstly challenges the order dated 31.1.2009. In my view, the grant of amendment in this regard needs no interference to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. The other amendment pertains to the fact that the management is not taking 2 any steps for referring the matter to the Caste Scrutiny Committee. In this regard, grant of amendment does not prejudice the management. The last amendment seeks to add a prayer of continuity of service and back wages. This can only be consequence for quashing of the prayer for termination which is admittedly sought in the main appeal. In this view of the matter, I am not inclined to interfere in the writ petition. Writ Petition is summarily rejected. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
