Sapkal, Advocate for petitioner. Mr. V.D. Rakh, AGP for respondents. CORAM :- B.R. GAVAI & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATE :- 22ND NOVEMBER, 2011. PER COURT :- 1] Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. 2] The petitioner has approached this court being aggrieved by the order passed by the respondent No.2 dt. 22nd July, 2011, thereby withdrawing the approval granted to the petitioner No.2 school for opening of additional division of 7th standard. 3] The reasoning given in the said order is that, this court vide order dated 8th March, 2010 passed in W.P. No. 4118/2009 has granted stay to the order and as such, it is required to retrospectively restore the additional division to H.S. Borase High School. FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 5840 OF 2011 "Adivasi Vidya Vikas Mandal Dhangar Dist, Dhule and another Vs. The State of Maharashtra and others." Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's Orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. 2 4] Permission was granted to the petitioner on 29th December 2008. Not only that, but the additional staff has also been sanctioned is on 14.5.2010. The order on which the Education Officer has relied, is passed on 8th March, 2010. Vide the said order, wherein the Division Bench of this court has, "directed status-quo as of today to be continued till the next date of hearing". It can thus be seen that, what was directed was, maintenance of status-quo as on the date of passing of the order. On the date of passing of the order, additional division was already granted to the petitioner. As such, there was no question to retrospectively restore the said division to S.H. Borase High School. 5] We, therefore, find that the impugned order is unsustainable in law. The same is, therefore, quashed and set aside. Rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (B). [M.T.
