AGK AGK AGK IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1909 OF 2008 Vitthal Ghanshyam Pawar ..Petitioner. V/s. Satara Zilla Parishad & Anr. ..Respondents. Mr.U.P. Warunjikar for the petitioner. Mr.M.B. Mehere for respondent Nos.1 and 2. Mr.A.H. Palekar, AGP for respondent No.3. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & J.P. DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 1ST SEPTEMBER, 2008. P.C. : 1. The petitioner is a project affected person. He was selected and appointed as a Talathi against a post reserved for project affected person. He was given appointment. He joined the service. He has also drawn his pay as Talathi. Thereafter, he was informed that he has been selected for appointment as Senior Assistant in Zilla Parishad also against a post reserved for project affected person. He resigned from the post of Talathi. Without disclosing that he was appointed as talathi as also his resignation, the petitioner joined the post of Senior Assistant in Zilla Parishad. Somebody disclosed this fact to the Zilla Parishad. The Zilla Parishad, after giving show cause notice, terminated the services of the petitioner. 2. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. In this case, the petitioner was entitled to be considered for appointment against a post reserved for project affected persons. Accordingly, he was considered and appointed as Talathi. It appears that before his selection and appointment as Talathi, he appeared for the examination for the post of Senior Assistant in Zilla Parishad. In case, the petitioner wanted to take chance for getting appointed in Zilla Parishad, he should not have accepted the appointment as Talathi. Once he accepted the appointment as Talathi, the petitioner could not have joined the post of Senior Assistant in Zilla Parishad. In our opinion, therefore, no fault can be found with the order of the Zilla Parishad terminating the services of the petitioner. We tried to find out from learned AGP as to whether the petitioner can be accommodated in the post of Talathi from which he has resigned. But there is an affidavit filed on behalf of the Government that the petitioner cannot be appointed as Talathi because there is no vacancy in the post of Talathi reserved for project affected persons. No relief can be granted in this writ petition. Hence, rejected. D.K. DESHMUKH, J. J.P. DEVADHAR, J.
