1 pps IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 4989 of 2011 Mr.Balasaheb R. Chavan ...Petitioner Versus The Education Officer & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. Sunil Dighe for the Petitioner Mr.Girish Kulkarni a/w. S.R.Waghmare for Respondent Nos.2 and 3 Ms.S.S.Bhende AGP for Respondent No.1 CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR & R.Y.GANOO, JJ. DATED:- 22nd JULY, 2011. P.C. 1. This is yet another matter where grievance is made about the inaction of the concerned officer in deciding the representation made by the petitioner on 28th January, 2011 and again on 18th February, 2011 and 16th April, 2011. The Chief Secretary has issued Circular specifically addressing this grievance, which was issued on 16th February, 2010 being G.R.No.02/2010/Pra-Kra 29/A-2. It appears that the position has not altered. 2. We express our displeasure about the manner in which even the 2 circular has been ignored by the concerned authorities who were expected to decide the representation made by the petitioner within reasonable time. 3. We, therefore, direct the concerned authority, respondent no.1, to decide the representation made by the petitioner within four weeks from today and inform the petitioner about the outcome thereof within the same time, failing which the Court may consider of initiating appropriate action against the respondent no.1 personally for having committed breach of the direction of the Court as well. This, obviously, would be in addition to the departmental action to be initiated against the respondent no.1 as is envisaged in the above referred circular. 4. The petition is disposed of in above terms. Copy be forwarded to the Chief Secretary, Government of Maharashtra, for information and necessary action. (R.Y.GANOO, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
