1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR Writ Petition No. 4368/2008 Madhukar Murlidhar Theng ..vs.. Mungasaji Maharaj Education Society, & Ors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Patil, Advocate for petitioner. Mr. Agnihotri, Advocate for respondent nos. 1 and 2. Mr. Kothari, A.G.P. for respondent nos. 3 and 4. CORAM: B. P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 5 th DECEMBER, 2008 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and respondents. 2. By the impugned order, School Tribunal has refused to condone delay of 8 months in filing appeal under Section 9 of the M.E.P.S. Act. Mr. Patil, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that the petitioner was assured orally on several occasions that after two permanent appointments are made, he would be given back his job and he would also be made permanent. 3. Mr. Agnihotri as also Mr. Kothari, learned counsel for the respondents pointed out that the advertisement for filling in two posts was issued on 26.06.2007 and the 2 appointments were also made in July-2007. They state that the story of oral assurance is false and vague. 4. I have perused the application for condonation of delay. The application does not give any details about the dates on which the alleged assurances were given or names of the office bearers of the Management who gave those assurances and also there is no representation made either to the Management or to the Education Department about the said assurances. 5. In the circumstances, the application itself is vague to deserve any credence. No exception, therefore, can be taken to the impugned order as the same does not suffer from any perversity or jurisdictional error. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. No costs. JUDGE kahale
