P. C. :

Parties through their counsel.

Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. With consent of the parties, the matter is taken up for final hearing forthwith. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having gone through the impugned order dated 22.1.2016 passed by the Education Officer, (Secondary) Zilla Parishad, Sangli, we find that the said authority has not applied its mind to the facts of case of the Petitioner and has passed the impugned order mechanically.

30­WP­4190­2016.doc The order also appears to be non-speaking order. Having regard to the aforesaid, we are inclined to dispose of this petition by setting aside the impugned order and by directing the said authority to pass reasoned order afresh after giving an opportunity of hearing to the Petitioner individually. The authority is expected to deal with all the grounds as may be raised by the Petitioner.

Petitioner to appear before the said authority on 5.5.2016. After hearing Petitioner, the authority is expected to pass speaking order within three months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

C.C. as per Rules.
