Shinde, J.] Aggrieved by the judgment and order of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (In short 'MAT ') dated 17.6.2015 passed in Original Application No.463 of 2015, the Shivgan ::: Uploaded on - 09/08/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 10/08/2017 01:37:32 ::: * 2/3 * WP-6682-2015.doc petitioner has preferred this petition. 2 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned AGP for the State.

3 The petitioner was appointed in the office of the Respondent No.2 on 16.3.1995 as a 'Junior Clerk' on the compassionate ground. He was appointed by the Divisional Social Welfare Officer, Pune, Pune Division, Pune in place of his mother. On 26.2.2014, the petitioner was promoted on ad-hoc basis as 'Senior Clerk' for one year. The order of promotion, however, reserves right to cancel the said order at any point of time since it was ad-hoc promotion for limited period. It appears that on 29.5.2015, the petitioner was reverted from 'Senior Clerk' to his original post on the following grounds:

That even otherwise, it appears contents of paragraph 2 of the impugned order of reversion was not denied. That even otherwise, his promotion to the post of 'Senior Clerk' was on ad-hoc basis for a period of one year and as such, we find no merit in the present petition. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
