WP 850/11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.850/2011 _______________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | Shri P.B. Patil, Advocate for petitioner. Shri S.K. Kadam, AGP for respondent nos.1 & 2. Shri V.P. Patil, Advocate for respondent no.3. Shri M.D. Gitte, Advocate for respondent no.4. CORAM: D.B. BHOSALE & A.V. NIRGUDE, JJ. Date: 15.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Rule. Rule is taken for final hearing forthwith with the consent of learned counsel for the parties. By this writ petition, the petitioner has impugned the order dated 7.1.2011 passed by respondent no.2 – Education Officer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad, Jalgaon. By this communication, the Education Officer has informed the petitioner that the approval to WP 850/11 2 his appointment granted earlier has been cancelled until further orders. It further appears that such order has been passed in view of inter se dispute between the management pending before the Joint Charity Commissioner. The main grievance made by the petitioner in the present writ petition is that the impugned order has been passed by the Education Officer without giving the petitioner an opportunity of being heard. There is no dispute that before passing the impugned order, notice was not issued to the petitioner and it appears that this order was passed on the complaint made by respondent no.3. In the circumstances, we are inclined to set aside the order dated 7.1.2011 and direct the Education Officer to consider the complaint of respondent no.3 afresh and pass appropriate orders after giving an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and respondent nos.3 & 4. Order accordingly. The Education Officer shall WP 850/11 3 decide the mater afresh as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order on merits in accordance with law. Rule is made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (A.V. Nirgude, J.) (D.B. Bhosale, J.) Dt/- 15.03.2011 ndk/c153119
