DATED : 24TH JULY, 2008. DATED : 24TH JULY, 2008. PC: PC: PC: . Heard Mr.Syed, the learned counsel for the appellants. 2. Both these letters patent appeals arise from similar orders of termination of service as the Assistant Teachers in the primary school run by Zilla Parishad and, therefore, the appeals are being disposed off by the common order. -2- 3. The Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Thane passed an order on or about 12.2.2001 terminating the service of the appellants under the Maharashtra Zilla Parishad District Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rule, 1964 and this order came to be challenged before the Additional Divisional Commissioner, Konkan Division, who also confirmed the same, therefore, the appellants approached this court in Writ Petition No.9417 and 9426 of 2003. The learned Single Judge by his separate order dated 16.2.2005 was pleased to reject the petitions summarily and hence this letters patent appeals by the original petitioners. 4. The learned Single Judge held that the qualifications of Diploma in Education, obtained by the applicants were from an institute which was not recognised and inspite of knowing the same, fabricated diploma certificate was filed to secure employment as Assistant Teacher under the Zilla Parishad. On this count of submission of false certificates of academic qualifications the FIR was lodged and criminal proceedings were initiated. The learned Single Judge also noted the reliance of the appellants on the circular dated 2.6.2000 issued by the State Government. The said circular and more particularly clause 4 indicated that it was applicable to only those teachers -3- who were still in service. 5. It is not disputed before us that the appellants did not obtain qualifications from the recognised institute. The institute came to be closed down and, but for these certificates, they could not have been employed as Assistant Teachers. 6. We, therefore, do not find any error apparent on the face of the record in the order of the learned Single Judge and, therefore, there is no reason to entertain these intra court appeals. 7. Hence the appeals are dismissed in limine. 8. Civil applications do not survive and are disposed off as such. (D.B.BHOSALE,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.) (D.B.BHOSALE,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
