DATE : 23 RD AUGUST, 2016.

ORAL JUDGMENT (PER : SMT.VASANTI A NAIK, J.)

Since the issues involved in these writ petitions are

interconnected, they are heard together and are decided by this common

judgment.

2. By filing Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011, the petitioners-some

of the recorded trustees, have challenged the order of the Education

Officer, dated 26.03.2011 granting permission to the respondent nos.5, 6,

7 and 8 to fill the posts of Assistant Teachers. So also, Writ Petition

No.4887 of 2011 is filed by the employees, that are appointed in

pursuance of the order of permission, dated 26.03.2011 and whose

approvals were cancelled by the order, dated 29.07.2011.

3. The petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011, specially the

petitioner nos.2 to 6, claim to be the recorded trustees of the trust along

with the respondent nos.5, 6, 7 and 8, who are also the recorded trustees.

According to the petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011, in the year

1998, there were 1576 members of the trust. A joint application was filed

by some of the petitioners and the respondent nos.5, 6, 7 and 8 in Writ

Petition No.1646 of 2011 in the year 2000 for framing of a scheme. The

application for framing of the scheme was allowed by the Joint Charity

WP 1646&4887/11 6 Common Judgment

Commissioner, thereby permitting the enhancement of the membership

fees for the existing members also. It is the case of the respondent nos.5,

6, 7 and 8 that a notice was served on all the members in respect of the

enhancement of the membership fees and only 166 members paid the

enhanced fees and were entitled to retain their membership. It is the case

of the respondent nos.5 to 8 in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011 that the

petitioner nos.2 to 6 in the said writ petition did not pay the enhanced

membership fees and challenged the order in the scheme, before the

learned District Judge. The appeal was, however, dismissed as the

learned District Judge refused to condone the inordinate delay in filing

the same. The order of the learned District Judge is challenged by the

petitioners in Writ petition No.1646 of 2011, in a second appeal. The

said second appeal is pending. In the meanwhile, an application was filed

in the year 2003 under Section 41-A of the Bombay Public Trusts Act by

the petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011 seeking a restrainment

order against the respondent nos.5, 6, 7 and 8 from managing the affairs

of the trust. Apart from the other orders, that are passed in the said

application, the Assistant Charity Commissioner, by direction no.3 in the

order dated 28.07.2008, restrained the respondent nos.5, 6, 7 and 8 from

taking policy decisions like recruitment, appointment of teachers,

suspension, termination, etc., without the prior permission of the

authorities under the Bombay Public Trusts Act. Before the said order

was passed on 28.07.2008, the petitioners on one hand and the

WP 1646&4887/11 7 Common Judgment

respondents on the other, had claimed that the elections were conducted.

Two rival change reports were filed by the parties. Change Report

No.142 of 2008 was filed by the respondent nos.5, 6, 7 and 8 and others,

whereas Change Report No.968 of 2007 was filed by the petitioner nos.1

to 6 and others. The change report filed by the respondents bearing

Change Report No.142 of 2008 was allowed by the order dated

03.05.2014. The said order was challenged by the petitioners before the

Joint Charity Commissioner and the order passed by the Assistant Charity

Commissioner was confirmed by the dismissal of the appeal. The

petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011 then filed an appeal before

the learned District Judge and the learned District Judge stayed the order

of the Assistant Charity Commissioner. The order of the District Judge is

challenged by the respondent nos.5 to 8 in a writ petition and in the said

petition, an ad-interim order staying the order of the District Judge is

passed. The matter is still pending. As a consequence of the order

accepting Change Report No.142 of 2008, the change report filed by the

petitioners, bearing Change Report No.968 of 2007, was rejected. During

the pendency of the aforesaid two change reports, an application was

filed by some of the members of the trust under Section 47 of the Bombay

Public Trusts Act for appointment of trustees as, according to them, a

vaccum was created in the absence of a managing body to manage the

trust. The application filed by the members of the trust under Section 47

of the Act was rejected by the judgment dated 02.12.2010. To the

WP 1646&4887/11 8 Common Judgment

proceedings under Section 47 of the Act, some of the petitioners and

some of the respondents were parties. It was held by the Joint Charity

Commissioner in the order on the application under Section 47 of the Act

that there was no necessity to appoint the trustees as the respondents in

Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011, i.e. the applicants in Change Report

No.142 of 2008 were taking policy decisions and were in the

management and administration of the trust. It is not in dispute that the

order dated 02.12.2010 has attained finality as none of the parties has

challenged the same before a superior forum. After the order dated

02.12.2010 was passed, the respondent nos.5 to 8 and others applied to

the Education Officer for grant of permission to fill the vacancies in the

posts of Assistant Teachers. Permission was granted by the Education

Officer to fill the vacancies by the order, dated 26.03.2011. The said

order is impugned by the petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011.

In pursuance of the order granting permission to advertise the

posts, the respondent nos.5 to 8 and the headmaster had advertized the

posts, conducted the interviews and appointed the petitioners in Writ

Petition No.4887 of 2011 on the posts of Assistant Teachers. The

Education Officer, on an appreciation of the material tendered before

him, granted approval to the appointments of the petitioners in Writ

Petition No.4887 of 2011. On the basis of an order of status quo granted

in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011, it is stated on behalf of the Education

Officer that the order granting approval to the appointment of the

WP 1646&4887/11 9 Common Judgment

petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 was cancelled by the order

dated 29.07.2011. The petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 have

challenged the order of the Education Officer, dated 29.07.2011

cancelling their approval.

4. Shri Khapre, the learned counsel for the petitioners in Writ

Petition No.1646 of 2011, submitted that the respondent nos.5 to 7 could

not have, in collusion with the headmaster, sought the permission of the

Education Officer for filling the vacant posts of Assistant Teachers without

the permission of the authorities under the Bombay Public Trusts Act,

1950. It is submitted that by the order dated 28.07.2008, the Assistant

Charity Commissioner had restrained the respondent nos.5 to 8 from

taking any policy decision in the matter of appointment, dismissal, etc. It

is submitted that the order dated 28.07.2008 had attained finality with

the dismissal of the writ petition filed against the same and in view of the

said order of restrainment, the respondent nos.5 to 8 could not have

sought permission from the Education Officer to fill the vacant posts

without seeking the permission of the authorities under the Bombay

Public Trusts Act. It is submitted that the permission to appoint the

Assistant Teachers is secured by the respondent nos.5 to 8 without any

authority to do so and in violation of the directions issued by the Assistant

Charity Commissioner, by the order dated 28.07.2008 in proceedings

under Section 41-A of the Act. It is submitted that in the circumstances of

WP 1646&4887/11 10 Common Judgment

the case, the Education Officer was not justified in granting permission to

the respondent nos.5 to 8 and the Headmaster to fill up the vacancies.

5. Shri Dharmadhikari, the learned Assistant Government

Pleader appearing on behalf of the Education Officer, has submitted that

the Education Officer has rightly granted permission to the respondent

nos.5 to 8 and the Headmaster to fill the vacant posts of Assistant

Teachers, by the order dated 26.03.2011. It is submitted that the order of

the Joint Charity Commissioner in the proceedings under Section 47 of

the Bombay Public Trusts Act clearly recites that the respondent nos.5

to 8 along with others, were administering the affairs of the trust and

there was no vaccum. It is submitted that the approval was granted to

the appointment of the petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 as

their appointments were made by the respondents in Writ Petition

No.1646 of 2011, after following the due procedure of selection. It is

submitted that since an order of status quo was granted in Writ Petition

No.1646 of 2011, the Education Officer cancelled the approval to the

appointment of the petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011, by the

order dated 29.07.2011. It is submitted that though some teachers are

absorbed in the schools run by the trust, still there are vacancies in the

posts of Assistant Teachers and no prejudice would be caused to the

teachers that are absorbed, if this Court sets aside the order of

cancellation of the approval, dated 29.07.2011.

WP 1646&4887/11 11 Common Judgment

6. Shri Thakre and Shri Patil, the learned counsel for the

respondent nos. 5 & 6 and 7 & 8, respectively, submitted that the

Education Officer rightly granted permission to fill the posts of Assistant

Teachers by the order dated 26.03.2011. It is submitted that the order

dated 28.07.2008 in the proceedings filed by the petitioners in Writ

Petition No.1646 of 2011 under section 41-A of the Bombay Public Trusts

Act was wiped off by the order of the Joint Charity Commissioner, dated

02.12.2010 in the proceedings filed under Section 47 of the Bombay

Public Trusts Act, for appoinment of trustees. It is stated that it is

categorically held by the Joint Charity Commissioner in the order dated

02.12.2010 in the proceedings under Section 47 of the Act, that the

respondent nos.4 to 8 along with the other members on the managing

committee, as per Change Report Enquiry no.142 of 2008, were in the

management and were administering the affairs of the trust. It is

submitted that the order of the Assistant Charity Commissioner, dated

28.07.2008 was wiped off by the order of the Joint Charity

Commissioner, dated 02.12.2010 in the proceedings under Section 47 of

the Act. It is submitted that a judgment-order in the proceedings

under Section 47 of the Act partakes the character of a decree and it,

therefore, cannot be said by the petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of

2011 that the respondent nos.5 to 8 and some others were not in the

management of the trust, when the permission was granted by the

Education Officer to fill the posts of Assistant Teachers by the order

WP 1646&4887/11 12 Common Judgment

dated 26.03.2011. The learned counsel sought for the dismissal of Writ

Petition No.1646 of 2011. It is submitted that the relief may be granted

to the petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011.

7. Shri Mohgaonkar, the learned counsel for the petitioners in

Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011, has supported the order of the Education

Officer, dated 26.03.2011 granting permission. It is stated that the

petitioners cannot be deprived of the approval of their services, specially

when their appointment is made after following the due procedure for

appointment. It is submitted that the order cancelling the approval,

dated 29.07.2011 is liable to be set aside, specially when the petitioners

in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 were not heard when the order

cancelling their approval was passed on 29.07.2011.

8. On hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on a

perusal of the various orders passed by the authorities under the Bombay

Public Trusts Act, it appears that the prayers made in Writ Petition

No.1646 of 2011, cannot be granted and the order of the Education

Officer granting permission to the management to advertise the posts of

Assistant Teachers, cannot be set aside. Originally, the petitioner nos.2

to 6 and the respondent nos.5 to 8 were the recorded trustees of the

trust. There were rival factions in the management and the petitioner

nos.2 to 6 belong to one faction and the respondent nos.5 to 8 belong to

WP 1646&4887/11 13 Common Judgment

the other. In the scheme proceedings, certain orders were passed, with

which we are not concerned in these writ petitions. We are only

concerned with the order passed by the Assistant Charity Commissioner in

the proceedings filed by the petitioners in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011

under Section 41-A of the Act for a direction against the respondent nos.5

to 8 from managing the affairs of the trust. In the said proceedings under

Section 41-A of the Act, by an order dated 28.07.2008, the Assistant

Charity Commissioner had restrained the respondent nos.5 to 8 from

taking any policy decision in the matter of appointment, termination, etc.,

without the permission of the authorities under the Bombay Public Trusts

Act. Just before the passing of the order, dated 28.07.2008 by the

Assistant Charity Commissioner, two rival change reports were filed, one

by the petitioners bearing Change Report No.968 of 2007 and the other

by the respondent nos.5 to 8 and others bearing Change Report No.142 of

2008. During the pendency of these change reports, an application was

filed by some interested members under Section 47 of the Act for

appointment of trustees, as according to them, a vaccum was created as

there was no legal body to manage the affairs of the trust. To the

application under Section 47 of the Act, some of the petitioners and some

of the respondents to Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011 were parties. In

these proceedings, the Joint Charity Commissioner, held by the order

dated 02.12.2010 that the respondent nos.5 to 8 and some other trustees

were managing the affairs of the trust and there was no vaccum. With

WP 1646&4887/11 14 Common Judgment

the aforesaid observations, the Joint Charity Commissioner had

dismissed the application under Section 47 of the Act for appointment of

trustees by the order dated 02.12.2010. The said order has attained

finality as none of the parties has challenged the same before the

superior forum. It is rightly submitted on behalf of the respondent

nos.5 to 8 that the order of the Assistant Charity Commissioner,

dated 28.07.2008 was wifed off by the order of the Joint Charity

Commissioner, dated 02.12.2010. The Joint Charity Commissioner had

categorically referred to the order of the Assistant Charity Commissioner,

dated 28.07.2008 in the proceedings under Section 41-A of the Act and

proceeded to hold that the respondent nos.5 to 8 and some others that

were elected as per Change Report No.142 of 2008, are managing and

administering the affairs of the trust. In pursuance of the order of the

Joint Charity Commissioner, dated 02.12.2010 to the aforesaid effect,

there was no hindrance in the path of the respondent nos.5 to 8 and the

other managing trustees that were elected as per Change Report No.142

of 2008, in seeking permission of the Education Officer to fill the vacant

posts of Assistant Teachers by publishing an advertisement. In the

circumstances of the case, we do not find any illegality in the order of the

Education Officer, dated 26.03.2011 granting permission to the

respondent nos.5 to 8 as also the headmaster to fill the vacant posts. It is

not in dispute that the vacant posts are filled after issuance of an

advertisement. The petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 were

WP 1646&4887/11 15 Common Judgment

appointed in pursuance of their selection. Approval was also granted to

their appointment, however, in view of the order of status quo granted in

Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011, the Education officer, hurriedly cancelled

the approval to the appointment of the petitioners in Writ petition

No.4887 of 2011, by the order dated 29.07.2011. It is not disputed by

the Education officer that the petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011

are appointed in clear vacancies after following the due procedure of

selection. If that is so, the Education Officer could not have cancelled the

approval to the appointment of the petitioners in Writ petition No.4887 of

2011 only on the basis of the order of status quo in Writ Petition No.1646

of 2011. The Education officer should have at least heard the petitioners

in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 before cancelling their appointments.

The Education Officer has not granted hearing to the petitioners in Writ

Petition No.4887 of 2011 before cancelling the approval to their

appointments. In the circumstances of the case, we do not find any

illegality in the order of the Education Officer, dated 28.03.2011 granting

permission for appointment of Assistant Teachers in the vacant posts.

The order cancelling the approval to the appointment of the petitioners in

Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 is bad in law, as the petitioners in Writ

petition No.4887 of 2011 were not heard before their approval was

cancelled. Even otherwise, in the circumstances of the case, we do not

find any illegality in the appointment of the petitioners in Writ Petition

No.4887 of 2011 and the respondent-Education officer could not have

WP 1646&4887/11 16 Common Judgment

cancelled the approval to their appointment only on the basis of an order

of status quo passed in Writ Petition No.1646 of 2011. We find that

though some Assistant Teachers are absorbed by an order of the

Education Officer in the schools run by the trust, their absorption would

not be affected, by this judgment as it is clearly stated in the additional

affidavit filed on behalf of the Education officer that some posts of

Assistant Teachers would remain vacant even after accommodating the

petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 as also the absorbed

teachers.

9. Hence, for the reasons aforesaid, Writ Petition No.1646 of

2011 is dismissed and Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 is allowed. The

order cancelling the approval to the appointment of petitioners in Writ

Petition No.4887 of 2011, dated 29.07.2011 is hereby set aside. The

respondent nos.1 and 2 in Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011 are directed to

release the arrears of salary to the petitioners in Writ Petition No.4887 of

2011 within two months and pay the monthly salary to the petitioners in

Writ Petition No.4887 of 2011, regularly.

Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms with no order as

to costs.
