IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.7534 OF 2008 Haridas Rao Saheb Shinde. ...Petitioner. Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Anr. ...Respondents. .... Mr. Balasaheb Deshmukh for the Petitioner. Mr. Asif Iqbal Patel, AGP for Respondent No.3. ..... CORAM : DR. D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, J. November 20, 2008. P.C. The School Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by the Petitioner challenging the order of termination. The Tribunal dismissed the appeal on 25th June 2002. The Petition has been filed six years thereafter on 24th September 2008. The only ground which is set out in paragraph 14 of the petition is that the Petitioner was “seriously ill because of his backbone problem” and was suffering from a poor financial condition. These are entirely vague averments. No medical record is produced. The delay of six years in challenging the order of the School Tribunal is not satisfactorily explained. Even otherwise, it is an admitted position that on the date on which the Petitioner was allegedly appointed, he did not fulfill the requisite qualification. The Tribunal also held that the appointment was not made by the School Committee as required by the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977, but by the Secretary of the Society who has no authority. No case for interference has been made out under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Petition shall accordingly stand dismissed. ....
