Holding
The Court held that the 2013 staffing‑pattern resolution was in abeyance after the 2015 resolution, no ban was operative at the time of appointment, and delay without fraud does not invalidate the appointment.
Summary
The petitioners sought approval for the appointment of petitioner No.3 as a Peon in a private aided school after the retirement of a SC‑reserved employee. The Education Officer rejected the proposal, citing non‑submission of documents, a ban imposed by a 2013 Government Resolution, and alleged non‑compliance with staffing patterns. The petitioners argued that the 2013 resolution was never implemented, that the appointment complied with the 2012 procedure, and that the delay in filing the proposal did not invalidate the appointment. The Court examined the sequence of applications, the effect of successive Government Resolutions (2013, 2015, 2019, 2020), and held that the 2013 resolution was in abeyance after the 2015 resolution and that no ban was operative at the time of appointment. It further ruled that delay alone, absent fraud or misrepresentation, cannot defeat a valid appointment. Consequently, the impugned order rejecting the proposal was quashed and the Education Officer was directed to approve the appointment and issue salary grants.
Issues considered
- Whether the ban imposed by the Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013 invalidates the appointment of petitioner No.3.
- Whether the delay in lodging the approval proposal defeats the validity of the appointment.
- Whether the staffing pattern introduced by the 2013 resolution applies to the appointment made in 2014.
- Whether the Education Officer can reject a proposal on the ground of procedural non‑compliance when the officer itself failed to act timely.

JUDGMENT (Per Ajit B. Kadethankar, J.) :-
Heard learned counsel for the parties. Considering the
subject-matter of the Writ Petition, we deem it necessary to hear this
matter for inal disposal. For the sake of convenience, the parties are
referred to as per their actual status.
2. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard inally with
the consent of learned counsel for the parties.
Subject matter:
3.1. Proposal seeking approval to Petitioner No.1's
appointment as ‘Peon’ has been turned down by the Education
Oicer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad, Kolhapur. The objections as to
‘non-submission of certain documents, efect of ban imposed by the
3 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
State Government for certain period, non-compliance of formal
procedure, and applicability of staing pattern sought to be
introduced by Government Resolution dated 23.11.2013 are
referred as the reasons to discard the proposal.
3.2. Considering the pleadings and the arguments advanced
by the Parties, we frame following points for our consideration :-
(i) Whether ban imposed by the Government
Resolution post subject-matter appointments would
invalidate the approval proposal?
(ii) Whether in the peculiar circumstances if education
oicer merely sits on the application, an appointment if
made by following the requisite procedure and without
any element of fraud, misrepresentation of facts, or
manipulation of record, would be vitiated for want of No
Objection from the Education Oicer?
(iii) Changes in the staing patterns in the private
schools, efects of the Government Resolution dated
23.10.2013, 12.02.2015, 28.01.2019, and 12.12.2020,
and fate of the appointments made during the transition
of the policies on staing patterns.
4 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
FACTS :-
4.1. The petitioner has passed the Secondary School
Certiicate Examination and stands qualiied for appointment to the
post of `Peon’ in a school. He belongs to Scheduled Caste category.
A Peon namely, Shri.D.R.Kamble, belonging to Scheduled Caste
category, was due for retirement on superannuation on 31.08.2014.
The post on which Shri.D.R.Kamble was working was a sanctioned
and duly approved Class-IV post reserved for Scheduled Caste
category.
4.2. Noticing the vacancy proposed to fall vacant on
31.08.2014 due to superannuation of Shri.D.R.Kamble, the petitioner
no.1 – school Management initiated a process to ill up the vacancy.
Well in advance, i.e. on 01.07.2014, the School Management
submitted an application to respondent no.5 – Education Oicer
(Secondary), Kolhapur, thereby seeking (i) information of the
availability of a suitable surplus person, and (ii) for publishing
advertisement to invite applications in the event of non availability
of such suitable surplus candidate.
4.3. It is not disputed that the Education Oicer neither
supplied any information nor granted permission pursuant to the
5 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
application made by the school management. This constrained the
petitioner school Management to publish an advertisement on
11.08.2014 in the newspaper `Daily Samaj’. Pursuant to the
advertisement, along with some other candidates, the petitioner
underwent the selection process and the school Management found
him suitable to be appointed on the subject-matter post of Peon,
reserved for Scheduled Caste category, which had fallen vacant due
to superannuation of a permanent employee Shri.D.R.Kamble. On
30.08.2014, the school Management passed a resolution to appoint
petitioner no.3 on the subject-matter post of Peon. On 31.08.2014,
petitioner no.3 came to be appointed on the subject-matter post of
Peon.
4.4 The sequence of events in appointment of petitioner no.3
on the subject-matter post could be seen as above.
4.5. Mr.Prashant Bhavake, learned counsel for the petitioner,
submitted that after petitioner no.3’s appointment, the Headmaster
of the petitioner - school attempted to submit a proposal with
respondent no.5 – Education Oicer, seeking approval to the
appointment of petitioner no.3. However, said proposal was never
entertained on some or the other reason predominantly referring to
the ban imposed by the State Government.
6 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
4.6 Mr.Bhavake fairly agrees that on 07.03.2022, the
Education Oicer accepted the proposal submitted by the school
seeking approval to the petitioner no.3’s appointment. However, the
Education Oicer did not proceed with to sanction the proposal. This
constrained the petitioners to ile Writ Petition No.9852 of 2022. On
22.08.2022, this court disposed of the Writ Petition directing the
Education Oicer to take appropriate decision within a period of six
months.
4.7. Mr.Bhavake, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted
that on 12.09.2022, the Headmaster of the school submitted a
comprehensive proposal to the Education Oicer again attaching all
the requisite documents which were orally required for. However,
vide the impugned order dated 27.10.2022, the Education Oicer
has turned down the said proposal by rendering following reasons:-

Petitioner’s Submissions:-
5.1. Mr.Bhavake, learned counsel for the petitioners would
submit that the foremost reason to reject the proposal is reliance
placed by the Education Oicer on such Government Resolutions,
which are not applicable to the petitioner no.3’s appointment. It is
further submitted that although there is delay in submitting the
proposal, that itself shall not invalidate the appointment of the
petitioner no.3 for the reason that it was not deliberate at the behest
of the Petitioners. He would submit that the petitioners even waive
the claim of interest on the salary grants for the period between the
date of appointment of petitioner no.3 and the date of the proposal.
5.2. Learned Counsel for the Petitioners would further submit
that whatever documents are requisitioned by the Education Oicer
9 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
were in fact attached with the proposal and also attached to the
present petition. He further submits that even today, the petitioners
are ready to refurnish such documents to the Education Oicer, if
needed.
5.3. Lastly he submits that the subject-matter post was
already sanctioned post on which Shri. D.R.Kamble was working. The
post had fallen vacant due to the superannuation of Shri.D.R.Kamble.
It belongs to Scheduled Caste category to which Shri. D.R.Kamble as
also petitioner no.3 belong. As such, there could be no violation of
any roster nor it is the case of excess appointment, as is contended
by the Education Oicer. As such, Mr. Bhavake, learned counsel for
the petitioners prays to allow the petition. He demonstrates that the
subject-matter appointment is not in exception of the existing
staing pattern nor could be said to be in exception to the formal
procedure for the appointment.
He would speciically record his objection as to the efect
of Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013. He submits that the
2013 Government Resolution was never implemented, and hence the
subject-matter appointment was in accordance with the prevailing
staing pattern. He would urge to consider the sequence of the
various Government Resolutions post 23.10.2013 which would
10 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
clearly demonstrate that the Government Resolution of 2013 could
never became operational.
6. Respondents Argument:-
6.1. Ms.Kapre, learned AGP for the respondents - State
authorities, would vehemently oppose the Writ Petition. She
submitted that an exhaustive reply aidavit is iled on behalf of the
Education Oicer. Ms.Kapre strenuously submits that the delay in
iling the proposal itself creates doubt on the genuineness of the
proposal and appointment of the petitioner no.3 on the subject-
matter post.
6.2. She further submits that the post could not be said to be
sanctioned one and in fact, the petitioner no.3 cannot be said to
have been validly appointed. She places reliance on paragraph
nos.6 to 11 which are reproduced as follows:-
6. say and submit that, by coming into force
of the Maharashtra Right of Child to Free and
Compulsory Education Rules, 2011 the norms of
admissibility of non-teaching posts are on the
verge of extensive change and due to the said
change there is a possibility of an unprecedented
number of non-teaching employees becoming
surplus. The staff approval order is the document
that determines the exact number of surplus non-
11 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
teaching employees in the school. considering
this the Government of Maharashtra has
introduced a new staffing pattern for non-
teaching staff in Secondary Schools vide
Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013
wherein, new staffing pattern for non-teaching
staff is introduced.
The said Government Resolution dated
23/10/2013 was issued in supersession of the
then existing criteria of non-teaching staff
contained in secondary school code, Chiplunkar
committee, and Government Resolution
25/11/2005.
In the Government resolution dated
23/10/2013, the non-teaching staff who becomes
surplus due to new criteria shall have to be
absorbed in the same district, division, or on the
state level and the unobserved but surplus non-
teaching staff shall be retained in service up to
superannuation age and the excess posts would
lapse after retirement the surplus non-teachings
employees. It is submitted that the state
government has formulated a raised policy in
respect of the availability of non-teaching staff of
the recognized aided school vide government
resolution dated 23/10/2013. The copy of the
Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013 is
annexed herewith as Exhibit -R-1.
7. I further submit that, The Government of
Maharashtra vide Government Resolution dated
12.02.2015 have granted a stay to new
recruitment and have directed not to fill up
vacant post in non-employees in the private grant
in aid school till further order as per government
Resolution 12/02/2015 had granted a stay to
new recruitment and was directed not to fill up
the vacant post of non-teaching employees in the
private grant in aided schools on existing staffing
pattern till further order & if it is found that any
appointments are made despite status quo order
12 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
then criminal offense shall be registered against
the concerned authorities. The copy of the
Government Resolution dated 12.02.2015 is
annexed herewith as Exhibit - R-2.
8. I say and submit that on dated 13.9.2022
Petitioner No.1 submitted the proposal of
Petitioner No. 3 appointment for approval. After
scrutinizing this proposal this Respondent vide
official order dated 27.10.2022 has rightly
rejected the personal approval of Petitioner No.3
appointment because this appointment was made
by Petitioner No. 1 & 2 school management by
violating the following government policy.
i. NOC for recruitment and
advertisement was not taken as per
mandatory Government Resolution
dated 6.2.2012. 13.9.2022 without
explaining the delay.
iii. The certified roster from
backward cell Pune was not
submitted.
iv. Record of attendance from the
date of appointment not submitted.
v. As per the staffing pattern fix vide
Government Resolution dated
23.10.2013, there was one post
sanction for peon for Petitioner no.2
school and no vacant post available
for appointment of Petitioner No.3.
9. I say and submit that. As per the proposal
of Respondent No.6 Management the
appointment of the petitioner was made on dated
1.7.2014. The proposal for approval of the
petitioner should have been submitted
immediately in the year itself. However, the
proposal in question has been submitted after the
lapse of 8 years i.e. on 13.9.2022
13 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
10. I say and submit that, it is fact on record
that Petitioner No.1 & 2 school management was
appointed petitioner without observing the policy
of the government. Petitioner No.1 runs the
Petitioner No.2 School on a grand-in-aid basis and
this institute is mandatory to obey the rules of the
State Government issued from time to time. The
Government of Maharashtra introduced a new
staffing pattern for non-teaching staff of class IV
on 11/12/2020, in which the Government of
Maharashtra has abolished posts of class IV in the
recognized school of private partly fully aided
secondary and higher secondary schools within
the state. This respondent further submitted that
vide this government Resolution state government
are taking a policy decision instead of new
recruitment of regular class IV posts the
Government are sanctioning a consolidated
amount as the "SHIPAI BHATTA the aided partly
aided secondary and Higher secondary school.
This "SHIPAI BHATTA" is sanctioned to every
private aided school as per the ratio of the total
enrollment of the pupil. A copy of the
Government Resolution dated 11/12/2020 is
annexed herewith as Exhibit-R-3.
Therefore, after introducing this new staffing
pattern for class IV peon posts are now death
cedar and the posts which are/will be vacant due
to retirement or any reason are not available for
further regular appointment.
11. I say and submit that, as the factual position
explained above is evident the Petitioners are not
entitled to any of the relief claimed in the present
petition. This Respondent is not acting contrary to
law as this Respondent just obeyed the dictates of
law which overrules all the objections raised by
the petitioners. Thus because of the above factual
position, the direction and communication letter
issued by this Respondent dated 27.10.2022 is
just and proper.
14 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
In view of the above explanation, this
Hon'ble Court may be pleased to pass appropriate
orders in the present petition in the interest of
justice.
6.3. Ms. Kapre’s keen objection is concerning applicability of
the Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013. She would submit that
Petitioner No.3’s appointment can not be validated due to the
staing pattern introduced by the Government Resolution of 2013.
She strenuously submits that as per the staing pattern of 2013,
only one post of Peon was sanctioned while two persons are working
against sanctioned one post. She adds that the subject-matter
appointment is made after issuance of the Government Resolution of
2013, and hence approval can not be granted the subject-matter
appointment of the Petitioner No.3. She submits that the subsequent
Government Resolution of 2015 directed status quo in respect of the
Government Resolution of 2013, and hence it ought to be held that
the staing pattern introduced by the Government Resolution of
2013 be held to have hold ield till next staing patters of 2019 and
2020.
As such, learned Assistant Government Pleader prays to
dismiss the Writ petition.
15 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
Discussion and Consideration:-
7. We heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties
at length. While learned Assistant Government Pleader Ms. Kapre
relied upon the various Government Resolutions, Mr. Bhavake
demonstrated how the petitioners are not hit by the application of
the said Government Resolutions. His main thrust of argument is on
the inaction of the responsible oicer, i.e. the Education Oicer to
act in accordance with the same Government Resolution on which
the proposal is turned down. We deal with each objection recorded
by the Education oicer in the light of the arguments advanced by
Mr. Bhavake, and the record produced before us.
8. Now, let’s see how the Petitioners meet each objection
recorded by the Education Oicer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad.
9. Compliance to the G.R. dated 06-02-2012:-
9.1 The subject-matter post of Peon was to fall vacant w.e.f.
01.09.2014 on account of earlier employee namely Mr. D.R.Kamble.
Hence the School Management submitted an application to the
Education Oicer. The application sought (i) supply of suitable
surplus candidates’ name, if any, and (ii) permission to ill up the
16 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
subject-matter post by publishing an advertisement, in the event of
non-availability of suitable surplus candidate. Copy of the said
application is on record and it is in very clear terms. The copy bears
acknowledgment by the oice of the Education Oicer. This was in
compliance of the Government Resolution dated 06.02.2012. Text of
the Government Resolution dated 06.02.2012 is reproduced below

9.2. In the case in hand, despite the School Management
moved to the Education Oicer in accordance with the Government
Resolution of 2012, the Education Oicer didn’t respond to the
submission. For any objection or suggestion, the Education Oicer
was supposed to respond the said application. His timely response
was necessary. The Education Oicer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad,
holds the entire data of suitable surplus candidates for various posts
in the private schools falling under his realm. For the reasons best
known to him only, the concerned Education Oicer (Secondary),
Zilla Parishad kept the application pending for indeinite period.
9.3. Tired of waiting for Education Oicer’s response, the
school management published an advertisement in a daily
newspaper inviting applications from suitable candidates from public
at large. The very object of putting a procedure to seek permission
from the Education Oicer before illing up a post is to give priority
23 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
to adjust the suitable surplus candidates of whose data is in the
custody of the Education Oicer. If no such surplus suitable
candidates are available, the Education Oicer is supposed to grant
permission to publish an advertisement in the local newspaper to
maintain transparency in the selection process and to give
opportunity to people at large to participate the selection procedure.
There is no explanation from the respondent side why the Education
Oicer was sitting tight over the application for indeinite period.
9.4. Copy of the advertisement is evident on record. This
shows that the School Management tried to maintain transparency in
the selection process. Selection process was also participated by
some other candidates pursuant to the advertisement. The Petitioner
was appointed on the subject-matter post, as he was found more
suitable.
9.5 The deliberate inaction on the part of the concerned
Education Oicer seriously frustrated the very object of the
Government Resolution dated 06.02.2012 itself. The Education
Oicer has not disputed that the management applied for data of
suitable surplus candidate and for publishing an advertisement if no
such suitable surplus candidate is available. It is also a matter of fact
24 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
the Education Oicer has even not looked into the application, and
yet in an absolute mechanical way raised the objection No.1.
9.6 We do not encourage the practice for the school managements
to undertake selection process excepting the procedure laid down in
the relevant Government Resolutions. But in the peculiar facts of the
present case before us where the Management has complied every
mandatory formality, and the authority kept the process lingering for
indeinite period without rendering any reason, and where there is
no element of fraud, misrepresentation of facts or manipulation of
record, the employee may not be left to sufer. It must also be born
in mind that the subject-matter post is of Class IV category.
9.7. Recently, this court at Aurangabad Bench while deciding Writ
Petition no. 11172 of 2019 (Baliram Salunke Vs. State and ors) has
observed as follows:-
15. Recently, this Court in similar set of facts in
the matters of Sumedha Sushil Sawal and Ors.
Vs. State of Maharashtra reported in 2024 SCC
Online Bom. 975, Vaishali Balkrushna Pawar Vs.
State of Maharashtra reported in 2025 SCC
Online Bom 1502, Nitin Bhanudas Waghmare Vs.
State of Maharashtra & Ors. reported in 2023 3
MhLJ 556 has taken a view that once it is found
that the management sought permission to fill up
25 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
the post and the Education Officer do not
communicate either granting or rejecting the said
permission within reasonable time, the
management cannot be faulted with. This Court
has also held that once it is found that the
Education Officer failed to inform the
Management about the number of surplus
teachers waiting for appointments when the
petitioner is appointed and the impugned order
do not depict that the management was informed
about availability of any surplus teacher, in that
case it cannot be said that the management have
committed any error in issuing an advertisement
and filling up the posts.
16. The grounds raised in the affidavit in reply
which do not find place in the impugned order
cannot be considered for a simple reason that the
Respondent No.2 cannot be allowed to
supplement the reasons assigned in the
impugned order by way of an affidavit in reply.
The law in that regard is settled in view of
judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case
of Mohinder Singh Gill & Anr. Vs. The Chief
Election Commissioners, reported in 1978(1)
SCC 405, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court held
that an order has to be judged on what is stated
in the order and not on what is sought to be
supplanted/improved by subsequent affidavit/s
in support thereof.
17. Thus, we are not impressed with the
contention raised by Respondent No.2 in affidavit
in reply where Respondent No.2 is trying to
supplement the reasons. In the light of consistent
view taken by this Court (supra) and having
adopted the said view, we hold that, the order
passed by the Education Officer of refusing to
grant approval to the appointment of the
petitioner is unsustainable, therefore we are
inclined to allow the Writ Petition by passing
following order…………..”
26 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
As such, the subject-matter appointment can not be said
illegal and in contravention of Government Resolution of 2012.
10. Delay in lodging the proposal:-
10.1. Truly there is delay in lodging the approval proposal.
Petitioner’s appointment is of 01.09.2014, and yet the proposal was
iled in the year 2022. There is controversy on facts on this issue.
The petitioners submit that they attempted to submit the proposal
from time to time, however the Education Oicer didn’t accept it
citing the reasons of ban. May it be, the petitioner had iled Writ
Petition no. 9852 of 2022 in this court seeking directions to the
Education Oicer to accept the proposal and take a decision on time
bound manner.
10.2. Obviously, the issue of delay had been before this court
in the earlier round of litigation between the same parties.
Considering that, the earlier directions were passed. In our view,
mere delay must not be fatal to the proposal itself unless a strong
case of fraud, misrepresentation of facts or manipulation of record is
shown by the Education Oicer to us. Such is not the case in hand. If
the appointment is otherwise correct without involving the aforesaid
27 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
three components, we feel that the delay must not come in the way
of the petitioners.
10.3. We may refer to some observations made by this court in
a case of Mrs. Rutuja Sachin Vasudeo @ (Ms. Rutuja Suryakant
Bhise) and anr. Vs. The State of Maharashtra and anr., (Writ
Petition No.1158 of 2023) decided on 24.11.2025. Paragraph
No. 12 of the order reads as thus:
12. The learned A.G.P. pointed out that, since the
Management had submitted the proposal
belatedly, the Education Officer was justified in
rejecting it. In our opinion, the purpose of
submitting the proposal at the earliest is to ensure
that the concerned employee is benefited by the
salary grants as early as possible since the date of
appointment. The learned counsel for the
Petitioners submitted that neither Petitioner No.1
nor Petitioner No.2 will raise any claim for
interest on account of the delayed payment of
admissible salary grants. The said statement is
accepted as an undertaking to this Court.
The petitioners have made a statement that during the
period of the date of appointment and the date of submission of
proposal, the petitioners shall not claim any interest over the salary
grant. We hold that the subject-matter proposal could not be turned
down on account of delay as no element of fraud, misrepresentation
28 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
of facts or manipulation of record has been revealed in causing the
delay.
11. Non submission of certain documents (Ground Nos.3
to 5):-
11.1. This referes to objection as to non-submission of certain
documents. Mr.Bhavake vehemently submitted that the Petitioners
have submitted each and every document with the proposal. He
would also invite our attention to the fact that those documents are
even attached with the Writ Petition itself. This fact is evident and is
not countered by the respondents. Once the documents are on
record, there need no occasion to repeatedly submitting those.
12. Inconsistency with the Government Resolution dated
23.10.2013 :-
12.1. Petitioners submit that the staing pattern of 2013 was
never implemented. The objection is, staing pattern showed only 1
post of peon, while 2 persons are working as peon. The petitioners
submit that the subject-matter post had fallen vacant due to
superannuation of earlier peon namely Mr. D.R.Kamble. The
petitioners’ contention that D.R.Kamble’s post was sanctioned and
29 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
reserved for Scheduled Caste and his services were approved by the
then Education Oicer, are not countered by the respondent
authorities.
As such, it is obvious that the subject-matter post was
already a sanctioned post as per the staing pattern then prevailing.
The Petitioner is inducted on the subject-matter post consequent to
voluntary retirement of Mr.D.R.Kamble.
12.2. We need to re-iterate that the Petitioner Management
while iled an application to the Education Oicer on 01.07.2014 to
inform about availability of suitable surplus candidate for the
subject-matter post or to grant permission to initiate selection
process, it was the prime duty of the concerned Education Oicer to
raise the objection. If initiation of selection process for the subject-
matter post was contrary to the Government Resolution dated
23.10.2013, it was for the Education Oicer to immediately inform
the School Management in that regard. What we ind that the
concerned Education Oicer merely sat over the application and
didn’t respond the same. The anomaly if any, has occurred only due
to irresponsible inaction on the part of the then Education Oicer. We
disapprove such conduct of the responsible authority.
30 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
12.3. We now take up for discussion, the most crucial issue of
applicability of the Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013 and the
applicability of the staing pattern. For the sake of ready reference,
the text of the Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013 is
reproduced:-

12.5. The Government Resolution of 2015 at the outset records
that there had been huge demurs by individuals, various
organizations of Teaching and Non-teaching employees in the private
schools against the Government Resolution of 2013. As such the
efect of the Government Resolution of 2013 was freezed. A
committee was constituted to reform and improve the contents of
the Government Resolution of 2013. Ban was ordered for
appointments until further orders of the State Government.
12.6. Now we must see the further developments in respect of
the reforms in the staing pattern in the private schools post
Government Resolution of 2015. Consequent to the 2015
Government Resolution, the Committee advanced some suggestions
for a new policy.
12.7. Accordingly, the State Government introduced another
Government Resolution on 28.01.2019 by which new staing pattern
was introduced in view of the suggestions advanced by the
Committee constituted under the Government Resolution of 2015.
However, this Government Resolution dated 28.01.2019 speciically
excluded staing pattern for Class IV category employees in the
private schools. It was further stated in the Government Resolution
34 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
of 2019, that the staing pattern for Class IV was to be separately
provided.
For the sake of convenience, the Government Resolution dated

12.9. The plain reading of the Government Resolution of 2020
unequivocally clariies that it is operational w.e.f. the date of its
issuance i.e. w.e.f. 11.12.2020. The staing pattern for Class IV
introduced substantial changes in the previous staing patterns, and
it was issued only after approval by Finance Department that was
accorded on 22.05.2019. It is expressly mentioned therein the new
policy is brought into operation superseding the all-earlier policies
and directions. The Government Resolution of 2015 has expressly
kept Government Resolution of 2013 in abeyance ab initio.
40 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
12.10. Learned Assistant Government Pleader made every
sincere attempt to convince us that the status quo imposed by the
Government Resolution of 2015 meant that the staing pattern of
2013 shall remain in operation till new staing pattern was
introduced. That’s why it is her foremost contention that the subject-
matter appointment post issuance of 2013 Government Resolution
cannot be approved.
12.11. For reasons to express, we do not approve this argument
anymore. The preface of the 2015 Government Resolution itself
shows that due to heavy protest,objections and dissatisfaction
recorded by the stakeholders, the State Government kept in
abeyance everything in respect to the staing pattern introduced by
Government Resolution of 2013. It goes without saying that basic
cause to issue the 2015 Government Resolution, i.e. the efect and
operation of the 2013 policy was clearly and expressly was not to be
acted upon. The government resolved to appoint a committee to
rethink on improving the parameters of new staing pattern. A
committee of experts was appointed and it was directed that until
the State government applies new policy in the light of the proposed
recommendations of the Committee, no appointments were to be
made on new or vacant posts. The new staing patterns were
41 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
introduced in 2019 and 2020 (Class-IV) which clearly superseded the
earlier policies.
12.12. It is not at acceptable that the word “जैसे थे” used in
2015 Government Resolution in respect of Government Resolution of
2013, preordained that the staing pattern sought to be introduced
by the Government Resolution of 2013 holds ield until new policy
comes in force. Paragraph No.1 of the 2015 Government Resolution
must be read following its preface. We have no room for doubt in our
minds that the directions “जैसे थे” used in 2015 Government
Resolution mean and operate to keep the staing pattern 2013 in
abeyance ab initio till new policy is framed in the light of the
Committee recommendations.
12.13. Under these circumstances, holding that the policy of
2013 Government Resolution remained in force since its inception till
issuance of 2019 and 2020 policies or at least till issuance of the
Government Resolution of 2015, would be absolutely illogical. Rather
we have reservations on keeping an absolute ban on appointments
in the schools for ive years i.e. 2015 to 2020. The appointments of
teaching staf in schools are only and only for the educational career
of the students. Appointments of non-teaching staf are in the sense
42 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
at par, for the reason that it’s the most required support staf without
whom the schools can not function. Employees in services are bound
to superannuate during this period. Posts are bound to become
vacant. While keeping in abeyance the staing policy of 2013 and
waiting for new one, the State Government ought to have applied
rational and coherent mind while imposing such ban.
12.14. We are of considered view to hold that until the new
staing patters were introduced in 2019 and 2020, the last staing
policy introduced vide Government Resolution dated 25.11.2005 was
holding ield. Thus, the conundrum created by the various
Government Resolutions from 2013 to 2019 & 2020 (IV category)
over the staing pattern and the fate of the appointments made in
the mean period, stands solved. Staing pattern sought to be
introduced by Government Resolution of 2013 lost its efect ab initio
in view of Government Resolution of 2015. Meaning thereby, the
earlier staing pattern of 2005 stood superseded by the staing
pattern of 2019 (for all categories excluding Class IV) and by the
staing pattern of 2020 (for Class IV category), both operational
prospectively from their respective dates of issuance.
12.15. The new staing pattern for Class IV employees is
operational only w.e.f. 11.12.2020. It is trite law that a Government
43 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
Resolution, a statute, an amendment is not retrospectively
applicable unless expressly provided. Hence we reject the contention
of the learned Assistant Government Pleader based on the objection
recorded by the Education Oicer that Government Resolution of
2013 i.e. dated 23.10.2013 disqualiies the proposal for approval to
the appointment of Petitioner No.3 which is made on 31.08.2014.
13. Objection No. 7 in the impugned order :-
13.1. Non applicability of Government Resolution dated
23.10.2013 to the present case is already answered by us in above
paragraphs. So far as other Government Resolutions dated
12.02.2015, 28.01.2019 and 11.12.2020 are referred in the
impugned order at objection No.7, those being subsequent to
Petitioner’s appointment shall not hit petitioner’s appointment and
approval. In fact if those Government Resolutions read sequentially
and meticulously, it would show that the subject-matter appointment
was not in contravention of any band or staing pattern respectively
contained in either Government Resolution of 2015, 2019 and 2020.
13.2. The issue of non applicability of Government Resolutions
issued subsequent to appointments has been exhaustively dealt by
44 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
this Court at Principal Seat in the case of Kini Shikshan Prasarak
Mandal and others Vs. The State of Maharashtra, Through the
Secretary, School Education and Sports Department, Mantralaya,
Mumbai and ors., (Writ Petition No.10201 of 2022); and at Kolhapur
Circuit Bench in the case of Mrs. Rutuja Sachin Vasudeo @ (Ms.
Rutuja Suryakant Bhise) and anr. Vs. The State of Maharashtra and
anr., (Writ Petition No.1158 of 2023) decided on 24.11.2025.
13.3. As regards to the ban imposed by Government
Resolution dated 10.06.2010 is concerned, the Government
Resolution itself speaks that it was only for 1 year w.e.f. 10.06.2010.
Vide another Government Resolution dated 16.07.2011, the ban
imposed on 10.06.2010 was extended only for further one year. The
petitioner is appointed on 31.08.2014. Ms. Kapre, learned Assistant
Government Pleader fairly agrees that on the date of petitioner’s
appointment no ban was operational.
14. Conclusion:
Thus, what we ind that there are no objections as regards to
any fraud, misrepresentation of facts or manipulation of record while
efecting the subject-matter appointment. The Education Oicer has
erred in applying the staing pattern of 2013 which never became
operational. New staing pattern is introduced in 2020 while
45 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
Petitioner No.3 is appointed way back in 2014. On the date of
subject-matter appointment, no ban was operational against the
subject-matter appointment. To conclude, we hold that:
14.1 The delay in lodging an approval proposal shall not be
fatal to the proposal unless its shown that there were elements of
fraud, misrepresentation of facts or manipulation of record in the
subject-matter appointment. The Education Oicer could not have
turned down the proposal on account of delay;
14.2 The Management could not be justiied in taking
exception to the procedure of seeking permission from the Education
Oicer to ill up the vacant post; but in the peculiar facts of this case
and for the reasons recorded above, the inaction on the part of the
concerned Education Oicer to discharge his duty, the subject-
matter appointment cannot be invalidated;
14.3 Unless the respondent authorities could demonstrate the
elements of fraud, misrepresentation of facts, or manipulation of
record; in the peculiar facts of the case the Education Oicer is not
justiied to use his own inaction to decide the permission application,
as a tool to invalidate the subject-matter proposal;
46 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
14.4. The ban and riders imposed by the Government
Resolutions issued post subject-matter appointments shall not
operate retrospectively.
14.5. Government Resolution dated 23.10.2013 does not
disqualify Petitioner No.3’s approval proposal pursuant to his
appointment dated 31.08.2014, which is governed by the
Government Resolution dated 25.11.2005.
15. For the reasons recorded above, we are satisied that the
petitioner has made out a case for our interference, and the
impugned order is liable to be quashed and set aside. Hence, we
pass following order:-
(i) The Writ Petition is partly allowed;
(ii) The impugned order dated the order dated 27.10.2022
passed by respondent no.5 – Education
Oicer(Secondary) Zilla Parishad, Kolhapur, is quashed
and set aside;
(iii) The Education Oicer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad,
Kolhapur, shall grant approval to the Petitioner No.3’s
appointment as Peon within a period of four weeks from
47 WP NO.6812 OF 2024.docx
the date of submission of a copy of this order. The salary
grants shall be issued to the Petitioner No.3’s
appointment w.e.f. the date of his appointment without
any interest thereon within a period of four weeks
thereafter.
(iv) Rule made absolute in above terms. Writ Petition stands
disposed. No costs.
