1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6864 OF 2007 Shri Sameer Shankarrao Nimbalkar and another. .....Petitioners. V/s The Social Welfare Officer Group -A & Others ..... Respondents. ------ Mr. Shirish V. Pitre for the Petitioners. Mr. Nitin P. Deshpande for Respondent No.1. Mr. R.N. Sangavi for Respondent Nos. 2 to 4. ------- CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATE : 23rd January, 2008. P.C.: Heard the learned Counsel for the Petitioners. There appears to be a dispute between the Management and the Petitioners about the validity of the appointment of the Petitioners. That dispute is unresolved. The Petitioners, by this Petition, challenge the approval granted to the appointment of some other persons as instructors by the Social Welfare Officer. As, even the validity of the appointment of the Petitioners is under challenge, they cannot challenge the approval granted by the Social Welfare 2 Officer to the appointment of others. In any case, so far as the approval is concerned, that makes the Management entitled to the reimbursement of the grant from the State Government. If the appointment of the Petitioners is found to be valid, they would be entitled to receive salary for the days they have worked from the Management irrespective of the fact whether the Social Welfare Officer has approved the appointment of some other persons or not. The entire Petition is misconceived and ill-advised. It is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3
