CORAM: B.R.GAVAI AND
V.M.DESHPANDE, JJ.
DATE : 24ST OCTOBER, 2016.
ORAL JUDGMENT (Per B.R.Gavai, J.)
1. Rule. Rule is made returnable forthwith. Heard
by consent of learned counsel for both the parties.
2. The petitioner was appointed in the respondent
no.2 - School as an Assistant Teacher against the post
reserved for Scheduled Tribe. Since the petitioner claims to
be appointed against the post reserved for Scheduled Tribe,
her caste claim was forwarded to respondent no.1 -
Committee for verifying the same.
3. The petitioner has restricted her claim only for grant of
protection of her services in view of the judgment of the Larger
Bench in the case of Arun Vishwanath Sonone ..vs.. State of
Maharashtra, reported in 2015(1) Mh.L.J.457.
4. The learned counsel for the respondent nos.1 and 2
fairly concede that there is no finding of fraud in the order passed
by respondent no1 - Scrutiny Committee.
5. In that view of the matter, we find that the petitioner's
services are entitled to be protected in view of the law laid down
by Larger Bench of this Court in the case of Arun Vishwanath
Sonone ..vs.. State of Maharashtra (supra). Rule is, therefore,
made absolute in the following terms.
6. It is directed that petitioner's services shall stand
protected. However, it is made clear that petitioner would not be
entitled to the benefit as a candidate belonging to Scheduled
Tribe.
JUDGE JUDGE.
