1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 506 OF 2008 Mrs. Sumana Dasan.. ... Petitioner. Versus Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai & Ors.... Respondents. Mr. S. N. Pillai for the Petitioner. Mr. N. A. Shaikh for the Respondents. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI and A. P. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATED : 10TH APRIL, 2008. P. C.: The grievance of the petitioner is that he has challenged the order passed by the Education Officer on 17th November, 2005 before the Commissioner. The Commissioner has deputed an Assistant Education Officer to hear the appeal and now the Assistant Education Officer is hearing the appeal against the order passed by the Education Officer. 2. This case has a long history and we have seen that the High Court had passed order earlier setting aside both the orders passed by the Education Officer as also in the appeal filed and remanding the matter back to the Education Officer for fresh consideration. This order was passed by the High Court in Writ Petition No. 797 of 2001 on 8th July, 2 2004. Without giving effect to the order of this Court, the Education Officer passed another order on 17th November, 2005 directing the President of the National Education Society to reinstate the petitioner with immediate effect in terms of the earlier order which had already been set aside by the High Court. The order, which had been set aside by the High Court could not be given effect to and as such the order passed by the Education Officer on 17th November, 2005 was illegal and without jurisdiction. Against this order the petitioner has filed an appeal. 3. We feel this order can be quashed by this court for the reasons given by us hereinabove. Therefore, the appeal pending also gets disposed of. 4. Now, the Education Officer shall pass fresh order after hearing the petitioner as also the management in terms of the judgment of this Court dated 8th July, 2004 in Writ Petition No. 797 of 2001. 5. With the above directions, this writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. P. DESHPANDE, J.)
