The President, The National Education & Social Trust, Solapur & Ors. ..Respondents. ... Mr. S.G. Kudle for the Petitioner. CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD, J. 23rd June, 2006. P.C. : The School Tribunal has declined to grant interim relief of reinstatement during the pendency of the appeal. The Petitioner who was a Head Mistress was reverted to the post of an Assistant Teacher on 26th February, 2005 after holding disciplinary proceedings. The exercise of the jurisdiction by the Tribunal in the present case will not warrant interference under Article 227 particularly having regard to the fact that an interim order of reinstatement is passed in exceptional circumstances. However, while dismissing this Petition it is necessary to observe that the observations contained in the impugned order of the Tribunal are confined to the disposal of the application for interim relief. None of the aforesaid observations 2 shall be taken into consideration at the final hearing of the appeal and the appeal shall be disposed of by the Tribunal afresh on evaluation of the facts and law. Moreover, it would be open to the Petitioner to apply before the Tribunal for expeditious disposal of the appeal. In the event an application is made, the Tribunal will endeavour an expeditious disposal of the appeal preferably by 31st December, 2006. All the rights and contentions of the parties are kept open. Petition dismissed.
