1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURWE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8228 OF 2009 Thane Zilla Agri Shikshan Prasarak Mandal and ors. ..Petitioners. Vs. Mr. Shatrughna Baban Patil and anr. ..Respondents. Mr. D. S. Mhaisapurkar for the Petitioner. Mr. S.B.Patil for the Respondent No.1. Ms. P.S. Condaso, AGP. For the Respondent No.2. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 11TH DECEMBER, 2009 PC: 1 This is an application filed by the Management of the College impugning an order dated 30.6.2009 passed by the Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Navi Mumbai on an application dated 19.3.2009 filed by the Management in Appeal No. 2/2009. By the said application, the Management sought to summon the respondent No.4 (present 2 respondent No.2) who was the Dy. Director of Education to produce documents pertaining to grant of approval. In my view, question of legality of the termination can be decided without any reference to the approval. The legality of the termination is to be decided by taking into account the manner of appointment and termination. Grant of approval is not germane to this issue. It is sought to be argued that the question of grant of approval would be germane in case back wages are granted. This is a case where approval is already granted. In case back wages are granted it would matter in favour of the management and no grievance can be made on this aspect of the matter. Hence, petition is summarily rejected. (R.S. MOHITE, J.)
