1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.10549 OF 2009 Mr Sharad G. Sable ...Petitioner v/s The State of Maharashtra and ors. ...Respondents Mr H.P. Ghadigaonkar for Petitioner. Mr N.P. Deshpande, AGP for Respondent Nos.1 to 3. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND A.R. JOSHI JJ. DATE : 4TH JANUARY 2010. 2 P.C. :- 1] By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal in Original Application No.30 of 2009. By order dated 21st April 2009, the MAT has held that the petitioner has admittedly not been dismissed but his services have been terminated by a simplicitor order of termination. Therefore, the fact that in the criminal prosecution in relation to molesting a girl by the petitioner, he was acquitted is not relevant. Though he was placed initially under suspension on that allegation and the Government contemplated holding of departmental enquiry against him, the Government dropped the idea of holding departmental enquiry and terminated the services of the petitioner by simplicitor order of termination without reference to the alleged misconduct. We find that the petitioner was temporary employee, his termination does not cast any stigma on the petitioner. We do not find any illegality in the order impugned. Petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. 3 Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE A.R. JOSHI )
