IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Letters Patent Appeal [LPA] No. 148 of 2011 in Writ Petition No. 4678 of 2009 (Bhaskar Ganpat Gore Vs. Balaji Yuvak Mandal, Sawad and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Shri P. S. Patil, Counsel for the appellant Shri A.V. Gawande, Counsel for respondent nos. 1 & 2. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, PRASSANNA B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : 13th JUNE, 2011. Heard. There is nothing wrong with the order passed by the School Tribunal holding that the inordinate delay of more than seven years could not have been condoned as there was absence of ‘sufficient cause’ to condone the same. It is necessary to note that the appellant had challenged the termination order dated 10/01/2002 by filing the appeal before the School Tribunal under Section 9 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulations Act, 1977, in March, 2009. The Tribunal and the learned Single Judge had considered the statement of the appellant claiming to have worked in the School after 10/01/2002. However, since the appellant challenged the termination order dated 10/01/2002, it was rightly observed by the Tribunal that the delay was not liable to be condoned. Since, there is no merit in the Letters Patent Appeal, the same is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE *sdw
