S. Patil, Advocate for petitioner. Shri S. K. Tambe, Asstt. Govt. Pleader for Respondents Nos.1 to 3. CORAM : NARESH H. PATIL & N. D. DESHPANDE, JJ. Dated : 7th July 2009 ORAL ORDER [ Per NARESH H. PATIL, J. ] 1. Heard. 2. We do not find anything arbitrary or unjust in the stand taken by the Government that unless the petitioner files certified audit report by Chartered Accountant that they had paid rent of the building for the years in question, the State authorities would not be in a position to sanction the amount towards rent of the building. 2 3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that there was some initial arrangement between the landlord and the petitioner Institution. Therefore, audit report did not disclose such figure. We would not consider this plea. The matter relates to payment of public money. It must be properly accounted for. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that from academic year 2006-07 onwards, in the audit report payment of rent is mentioned. If this is a fact, the petitioner may submit audit report with the department from the year 2006 onwards. In case the department is satisfied with the audit report, the State authorities shall deal with the issue in accordance with law. Petition is disposed of. ( N. D. DESHPANDE, J. ) ( NARESH H.
