Admittedly the post of head master is vacant. No appointment on regular basis is made. The question is only of giving authority to sign pay bills till regular appointment is made. Obviously, therefore, senior most teacher will have to be given authority to sign the pay bills. It is an admitted position that Shri R.R.Jagdale is presently the senior most teacher in the school and not Mr.S.S.Pawar. In our opinion, no fault can be found with the order of the Education Officer. Petition rejected. (D.K.Deshmukh,J) (D.K.Deshmukh,J) (D.K.Deshmukh,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
