Dattarao s/o Sahebrao Jadhao and others ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Mr. G.R. Sadar, Advocate for petitioners. Coram : R.C. Chavan, J. Dated : 12 th October, 2009 1. This petition is directed against the order passed by the learned Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Amravati condoning delay in preferring appeal against dismissal of respondent. 2. The respondent has filed Writ Petition No.1130/2008 challenging refusal of his approval to his appointment. This petition was disposed of on 30th January, 2009. Thereafter respondent has filed appeal before the School Tribunal on 2nd March, 2009. The Presiding Officer of the School Tribunal has caused notice of the 2 application of condonation of delay to be issued. It is the petitioner’s case that since the notices were addressed, the President, Vice-President and Secretary by their designation as well as names, and since office bearers were changed, in the mean time notices were not served. The School itself, though duly served, could not contest the application due to some communication gap and also because the powers of Headmaster were withdrawn by the Education officer. All the same the reasons given by the Presiding Officer are not shown to be erroneous. As for the apprehension of the learned Counsel for the petitioner about observations on merits in the order, the learned Presiding Officer would obviously ignore them while deciding appeal on merits. In view of this, the petition is dismissed. Judge. adgokar
