1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. W. P. No. 4342 of 2008. Urdu Education Association and others. V. The Deputy Director of Education, Amravati and another Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Mr. M. D. Lakhey, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. N. S. Khubalkar, AGP for Respondents 1 & 2 Coram : B.H. Marlapalle and A.H. Joshi, JJ. Dated : 27th November, 2008. As directed by us, Shri S. K. Pawar, the Education Officer (Secondary) Zilla Parishad, Amravati is present before us today, and the Learned Counsel for the petitioners states that by now the said Officer has already cleared the pending proposal for approval, and it has been rejected on 18-11-2008. The learned Counsel for the petitioners, therefore, seeks leave to withdraw the petition with liberty to challenge the said decision. While we allow the petitioners to withdraw the petition with liberty, we have noted that despite the State 2 Government issuing a Government Resolution directing all the Education Officers to clear the proposals of approval within a specific time schedule, and this G. R. was issued pursuant to the decision of this Court, we have noted with shock that the Officers concerned have not shown any regards to the said Government Resolution, and the proposals for approval submitted by the Schools or by their managements are kept pending not only for months, but for years together. It appears that the Dy. Director of Education, Amravati Division, requires to do a lot more to ensure that the Education Officers under his charge act as per the Government directives or as per the law laid down by this Court. We have made it very clear that if such cases are noticed in future, we shall have no alternative, but to direct the appropriate disciplinary actions against the erring Education Officers whether Secondary or Primary and also initiate the contempt proceedings suo moto against them. Shri S. K. Pawar has tendered his apology and assured us that he will meticulously follow the 3 Government directives in clearing the proposals submitted for approval to the appointment of teachers including for the posts Head Master or Asstt. Head Master or Supervisor within the periods specified in the said directives. We have accepted the undertaking. Petition is disposed off as withdrawn. JUDGE JUDGE /Muley/
