1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 5073/2008 (Pravin Bhaurao Wankhede and others vs. The District Selection Committee and others) CORAM : B.P.Dhamadhikari, J. DATE : 2 nd DECEMBER, 2008 Heard Advocate Shri P.B.Patil, for petitioners. He states that Grievance Committee has permitted petitioners continuation in service, but at the same time has also stated that they will not earn any salary in the meanwhile. He points out that though hearing of appeal has been expedited, reply has been filed on 22.09.2008 and now hearing is scheduled sometime in January, 2009. After hearing and after perusal of record, I find that on 6th June, 2008, State Government has passed orders upon inquiry report received by it, noticing that recruitments of about 17 Shikshan Sevak was illegal and needed to be cancelled. State Government has also directed holding of Departmental Enquiry against Education Officer (Primary), Zilla Parishad, Buldhana. It is apparent that in view of this material, the Grievance Committee has rightly passed the interim order. The hearing of appeal is already expedited and hearing in December, 2008, could not take place because of Assembly Session here. The interest of justice, therefore, can be met with by directing the Grievance Committee to decide the grievance of the petitioners as early as possible and in any case before 31st March, 2009. 2 Depending upon that decision, the appointment of the petitioners and wages shall be determined by the Grievance Committee. During argument, Advocate Patil wanted to point out from reply of Zilla Parishad that there was no malpractice. However, in view of the order mentioned above, I am not inclined to consider such reply of the Zilla Parishad at this stage. The writ petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. JUDGE Rvjalit
