1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1204 OF 2005 Vivek Sahebrao Jadhav Petitioner vs. The President, Girna Education Society & ors. Respondents Ms.K.A.Bhatia for the petitioner. Mr.C.R.Sonawane,A.G.P. for respondents 4 to 6. CORAM : R. M. LODHA & R. S. MOHITE,JJ. DATED : 17th March 2005 P.C. Heard Ms.K.A.Bhatia, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.C.R.Sonawane, the learned A.G.P. for the respondents 4 to 6. 2. Though diverse prayers have been made in the writ petition, during the course of motion hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner confined the writ petition to only one relief i.e. direction to respondent no.4 to decide the petitioner’s representation dated 18th June 2001 (Ex.F) expeditiously. 3. In our view, the representation dated 18th June 2001 ought not to have remained pending for such a long time. 2 4. In the light of the limited prayer pressed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are satisfied that it is not necessary to keep the writ petition pending and it may be disposed by the following order: ORDER (i) The respondent no.4 namely; The Education Officer, Zilla Parishad (Secondary), Nashik shall take decision on petitioner’s representation dated 18th June 2001 as expeditiously as possible and in no case later than four months from the date of the production of the order of this Court. (ii) The Education Officer, Zilla Parishad (Secondary), Nashik before taking decision on the petitioner’s representation shall also obtain the views of Girna Education Society, Dabhadi, Tal.Malegaon, District Nashik and, if necessary, hear the parties.
