DESHMUKH AND V.M. KANADE JJ. DATE : 14TH JANUARY 2008. -2- P.C. :- 1. The petitioner challenged the method adopted by the Collector, Solapur for reserving posts of Police Patil for backward Class before the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal. In that application, the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal issued notice before admission and has not granted any ad-interim order. The ad-interim order that was sought was direction to the Collector, solapur not to make appointments. The result of grant of ad-interim order would have been keeping the posts vacant. In our opinion, therefore, the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal was perfectly justified in declining to grant ad-interim order. The question whether a suitable interim order can be made would obviously be considered by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal while hearing the application further. In our opinion, no interference in the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court is called for. Petition is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of the Court. -3- . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( V.M. KANADE J.)
