1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2070 OF 2008 Dattatraya R. Pagar. ...Petitioner. Vs. Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Chikhaloli & Ors. ...Respondents. .... Mr. Mandar Limaye for the Petitioner. Mr.Mihir Desai for Respondent Nos.1 to 3. Mr. S.N. Patil, AGP for Respondent Nos.4 and 5. ..... CORAM : DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, J. October 10, 2008. P.C. The Petitioner has challenged the order passed by the Presiding Officer of the School Tribunal at Nasik of 21st September 2007, dismissing an appeal filed against an order of termination. The Petitioner was appointed to the post of Shikshan Sevak on 1st November 2001. The Petitioner holds the B.A. and BP.Ed qualifications. The appointment was for a fixed period from 1st April 2001 to 31st March 2004. The services were terminated on 1st April 2004 with effect from 30th April 2004. 2 The School Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by the Petitioner holding that it was the sole prerogative of the management to continue or to dispense with the services of the Shikshan Sevak after the stipulated period of three years. This reading of the GR of the State Government dated 13th October 2000 and of the GR dated 27th July 2001 is not correct, since it is common ground that upon the satisfactory completion of service as a Shikshan Sevak, an Assistant Teacher would be entitled to absorption in the School. The School Tribunal has not considered the issue as to whether the Petitioner was eligible and whether his services were satisfactory. The order passed by the School Tribunal is virtually bereft of any reasoning. In the circumstances, the prayer of the Petitioner for the remand of these proceedings to the School Tribunal is justified. The petition is allowed. The order passed by the School Tribunal on 21st September 2007 is set aside. Appeal No.NSK/20/2004 is restored to the file of the School Tribunal at Nasik for a fresh disposal. All the rights and contentions are kept open. 3 The petition is allowed to the aforesaid extent. There shall be no order as to costs. ....
