1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.3861 of 2009 (Parmanand Maharaj Bahu-Uddeshiya Sewa Bhavi Sanstha and others v. Dnyaneshwar s/o Sahebrao Shelke and another) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri N.B. Kalwaghe, Advocate for Petitioners. Coram : R.C. Chavan, J. Dated : 6 th October, 2009 This petition is directed against the two orders passed by the learned Presiding Officer of the School Tribunal. By the first order, he allowed adjournment subject to costs of Rs.2,000/-. By the second order, since the costs were not paid on the same day, he directed that the hearing of the appeal should proceed without a written statement. Notice was issued to respondent No.1, who has been served, but has not cared to appear. The learned Presiding Officer of the School Tribunal would undoubtedly consider that if he has granted adjournment by way of last chance subject to payment of costs of Rs.2,000/-, he should have given reasonable 2 time to pay the costs and then, if the costs were not paid within a reasonable time, proceeded to hear the appeal without a written statement. He should have also realized that the people do not necessarily carry cash in their pocket for being promptly tendered in the Court. All the same, the learned Presiding Officer would undoubtedly take into consideration all these things if the petitioners apply to the Tribunal on 9-10-2009 along with costs as well as written statement for recalling those orders and would entertain a written statement of the petitioners. In view of this, the petition is disposed of. Judge. pdl
