( CORAM : RAVINDRA V. GHUGE & S.G. MEHARE, JJ)

DATE : SEPTEMBER 2, 2021

PER COURT :

1. We have briefly heard the learned Advocates for the respective sides.

2. This is yet another case of refusal to grant approval to the appointment

of the petitioner/widow who has already been appointed on compassionate

basis. The 2 grounds raised for refusal of approval are that there was a ban

on recruitment and that the staffing pattern for the Non Teaching Category

was not formalized.

3. We have extensively dealt with the above 2 grounds vide our judgment

dated 11/08/2021 in WP No.4219/2018 filed by Smt.Yogital Nikam Vs. State

of Maharashtra and others and WP No.163/2020 filed by Sachin Suryawanshi

khs/Sept. 2021/1236

Vs. The State of Maharashtra and others.

4. In view of the above, this petition is partly allowed. The impugned

order dated 21/12/2019 passed by respondent No.2 refusing approval to the

appointment of the petitioner, is quashed and set aside. The proposal

tendered by the Management, seeking approval to the petitioner's

appointment, shall stand restored to the file of respondent No.2.

5. We direct the said Education Officer to study the judgment dated

11/08/2021 and since we have held that such ban or pendency of staffing

pattern would not apply to compassionate appointment, he shall proceed to

pass an order on the proposal for approval, on or before 30/09/2021.
