(1) WP. 8641.2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.8641 OF 2009 Manav Jivan Vikas Pratisthan, Katgaon Tanda, Tq. & Dist. Latur PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra and ors. RESPONDENTS ..... Mr. V.A. Dhakne, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. R.P. Phatke, A.G.P. for the Respondent-State. Mr. A.V. Patil, Advocate for respondent no.3 ..... CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 02ND MAY, 2011 ORAL ORDER:- 1. The present Petition has been preferred against the order passed by the District Social Welfare Officer, granting approval to the appointment of respondent no.3 as an Assistant Teacher with the petitioner. By the order dated 11.1.2011, this Court directed the Divisional Social Welfare Officer, Latur to decide the Appeal preferred by the respondent no.3 within three months from that date. Accordingly, we have been informed that the Divisional Social Welfare (2) WP. 8641.2009 Officer, Latur has decided the Appeal preferred by respondent no.3. A copy of the order dated 18.4.2011 passed by the Divisional Social Welfare Officer, Latur is placed on record by the learned Advocate for the petitioner. This decision clearly indicates that the District Social Welfare Officer had erred in passing the order impugned in the present Petition. The Divisional Social Welfare Officer, has, therefore, set it aside and has dismissed the Appeal filed by the respondent no.3. 2. In our opinion, the Petition has therefore become infructuous and is dismissed as such. We are making it clear that we have not considered the merits of the order passed by the Divisional Social Welfare Officer. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] arp
