Heard the learned counsel for the parties.
2.
The Petitioners were working as Assistant Teachers and Peons in the school at Pali Taluka Sudhagad, run by Respondent No.2/Education Society. They have sought to challenge the order dated 3 April 2013 of de-recognition of the said school by the Deputy Director of Education. Writ Petitions are filed in the year 2015. This order of de-recognition is not challenged by the Management and is accepted. The school where the Petitioners were appointed was an unaided school. The Petitioners are not approved teachers. It is the contention of the Petitioners that the liability of
3 1-WP-1196-2016.doc the Management to pay their salary dues is not lost and the Management has sufficient means. This aspect is controverted by the learned counsel for the Respondent/Management, who submits that the subject school is already closed.
3.
The State Government by the Government Resolutions dated 20 July 2019 and 1 October 2019 has established the Grievance Forum for redressal of the grievances of the teaching and non teaching staff in respect of the disputes which are not referable to Section 9 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Condition of Services) Regulation Act, 1977. In light of the creation of this forum under the said Government Resolution, we permit the Petitioners to approach the said Grievance Forum. 4.
If the Petitioners make a representation/application to the Grievance Forum within a period of 4 weeks, the Grievance Forum would consider and dispose of the applications/representations within a period of 8 weeks thereafter, subject to earlier cases. 5.
Keeping all contentions of the parties open, Writ Petitions are disposed of.
