In this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner – Society has challenged the appointment of respondent no. 4 as Assistant Teacher. 2. Admittedly the respondent no.4 has been appointed as an Assistant Teacher on 1/6/1990 and her appointment has been approved by the Education Officer with effect from 1/6/2005. It is alleged that on the date of her appointment the respondent no.4 was less than 18 years of age. Such a ground is being taken up almost after 21 years. She is duly 2 ASWP-7438-2011 qualified (S.S.C., D.Ed.) for being appointed as an Assistant Teacher in the primary school. It is also alleged that the respondent no.4 secured the appointment as Assistant Teacher on the basis of forged and fabricated recommendations. 3. The petition appears to be a manifestation of the differences between two groups of the management and on the basis of the complaint filed. On 14/3/2011 the Education Officer has confirmed the earlier approval order. The challenge to the appointment of respondent no.4 is without any substance and, therefore, this petition must fail at the threshold. The petition is rejected summarily. (SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (B.
