- 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6748 OF 2004 ... Ravindranath Ganeshdatt Tripathi ...Petitioner v/s. Education Officer(Secondary) & ors. ...Respondents ... Mr.N.R.Bubna for the Petitioner. Mr.A.H.Palekar, AGP for State. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & V.M.KANADE, JJ. DATED: 26TH MARCH, 2008 P.C.: 1. The only grievance made by the Petitioner is that though he has been appointed as Shikshansevak in the school of the Respondents Nos. 2 & 3 and though the Headmaster submitted the proposal for approval of the - 2 - appointment of the Petitioner as Shikshansevak, the Respondent No.1 has not considered that proposal. It appears that pursuant to the interim order passed by this court approval to the appointment of the Petitioner was granted by the Education Officer subject to the result of this petition. 2. In our opinion, however, after the proposal has been submitted by the Headmaster for approval for appointment of the Petitioner, the Respondent No.1 should have scrutinized that proposal in accordance with law and should have made an order either approving the appointment or refusing to approve the appointment. 3. Taking overall view of the matter, therefore, in our opinion, following order would meet the ends of justice. O R D E R (i) The Respondent No.1/the Education Officer shall consider the proposal submitted by the Headmaster for approval to the appointment of the Petitioner as Shikshansevak in accordance with law and make orders - 3 - thereon. (ii) Respondent No.1 shall do it within a period of eight weeks from today. (iii) Rule made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M.KANADE, J.)
