WRIT PETITION NO.2864/2011 (Praful Mahadeorao Gaikwad .vs. The Superintending Engineer, MSEDCL and another ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders. and Registrar's orders Shri S.S. Ghate, Advocate for Petitioner. Shri A.D. Mohgaonkar, Advocate for Respondents. CORAM : B.P.DHARMADHIKARI & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 09, 2011 Heard. The disputed questions about date of resignation, correction of dates recorded therein and withdrawal of resignation arise for determination. According to the petitioner, the resignation accepted and shown as received on 31.12.2010 is really not in existence and only one resignation existed. That resignation was dated 17.9.2010 and it was withdrawn on 18.10.2010. Advocate Shri Mohgaonkar states that resignation dated 17.9.2010 was to be effective from 31.10.2010 and that resignation was withdrawn on 18.10.2010. The withdrawal was received on 26.10.2010. Hence resignation dated 17.9.2010 which was to be effective from 31.10.2010 was not acted upon. In the month of December, 2010 the petitioner 2 came and he corrected date “31.10.2010” in earlier resignation dated 17.9.2010 to read as “31.1.2011”. He was informed that this correction cannot be accepted and, therefore, he prepared another resignation also dated 17.9.2010 and handed it over on 31.12.2010. However, that resignation was to be effective from 31.1.2011. That resignation has been accordingly accepted. We do not wish to make any observation on the rival contentions as we find that disputed questions do arise. Petitioner was working as L.D.C. with the respondent. Hence he can approach appropriate forum for redressal of his grievance where these disputed questions can be resolved. We observe that if such proceedings are initiated by the petitioner, the concerned Court shall attempt to decide the same at the earliest. With this liberty to the petitioner, we dispose of the writ petition. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE halwai
