TAHILRAMANI, JJ. DATED: 28TH JANUARY, 2008 P.C. : 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner is a teacher in English subject. The petitioner was appointed as a teacher by the respondent No.2 in Jawahar Vidyalaya High School when the said school was non-grantable. The said school is having two wings, one wing imparts education in Hindi medium and the other wing imparts education in English medium. In the year 1987, the Hindi wing of the school started getting grant-in-aid from the Government of Maharashtra while the English wing was not getting any : 2 : grant-in-aid. Therefore, the staff was bifurcated by the respondent No.2-Trust into two wings i.e. the staff which was to be considered as staff for a school imparting Hindi medium was separated and the staff which was to impart education in English was separated. The petitioner, at that time, was put in as a staff of the English medium wing of the said school. Therefore, he remained as a teacher in a non-grantable wing of the school. Now, the petitioner is making a claim that since he is senior most, he should have been absorbed into the grantable wing of the said school. There is no scheme under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools Rules to that effect. Therefore, the petitioner cannot claim absorption as of right into the Hindi wing which is grantable and, therefore, we refrain to entertain the Petition. Petition is, accordingly, rejected.
