-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 667 OF 2003 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 1075 OF 1996 Smt. Smita Subhash Gurjar ...Applicant versus The Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Mumbai and others ... Respondents Mr. B.D. Joshi for the applicant. Ms. Gauri K. Jadhav, for respondent Nos. 2 and 3. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR, J. DATE: AUGUST 12, 2008. P.C. By this Civil Application, the applicant has prayed that the stay granted by this Court against the order of the Tribunal may be vacated. The applicant herein was the original appellant before the School Tribunal and her appeal was allowed and the Tribunal passed an order of reinstatement in her favour. The said order is impugned in the writ petition. While admitting the said writ petition, the impugned order has been passed by this Court. 2. The learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the original petitioner was not authorised to file a petition in his individual capacity as President of the Institution. He submitted that even otherwise also the order of reinstatement passed by the Tribunal is not required to be -2- stayed. Because of the stay, the applicant is out of the employment since considerable time. Though it is true that because of the stay granted by this Court, the applicant is unable to get benefits as per the order of the Tribunal. However, considering the fact that the Civil Application is filed as back as in the year 2003, and till today there is no order on the Civil Application as well as considering the fact that the original writ petition is of the year 1996, instead of vacating the interim relief which is in operation till more than a decade, it would be just and proper to fix the writ petition itself immediately for hearing. Under these circumstances, this Civil Application is disposed of by passing an order for fixing the main writ petition for hearing. Accordingly, original Writ Petition No. 1075 of 1996 is ordered to be heard for final hearing on 26th August, 2008. In case of delay in deciding the writ petition, the applicant is permitted to move appropriate application again for appropriate orders. Civil Application is accordingly disposed of. P.B. MAJMUDAR, J.
