JUDGMENT : S.S. Shinde, J. 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. With the consent of learned counsel appearing for the parties, heard finally. 2. Since the issue raised and relief claimed in these Petitions is identical, all these Petitions are heard together and being disposed of by this common judgment. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that, the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Beed has issued the impugned orders, thereby reverting the petitioners from the post of Trained Graduate Teachers to Assistant Teachers, however without giving an opportunity of hearing and in contravention to the principles of natural justice. The Chief Executive Officer has passed the impugned orders, which are contrary to the government policy as well as the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court. The impugned orders passed by the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Beed are without there being any valid reason and without application of mind, and therefore, they are required to be quashed and set aside in the interest of justice. 4. Learned A.G.Ps. appearing for the Respondent State and its officials and the learned counsel appearing for the Zilla Parishad, Beed submit that the orders impugned in these Petitions are self speaking, in as much as, the reasons are assigned in the impugned orders, and therefore, the Petitions deserve to be dismissed in limine. 5. We have considered the rival submissions advanced by learned counsel appearing for the parties, and also perused the pleadings and grounds taken in the Petitions. Admittedly, before passing the impugned orders thereby reverting the petitioners from the post of Trained Graduate Teachers to the Assistant Teachers, the reasonable opportunity of hearing has not been afforded to the respective petitioners. The impugned orders are passed in breach of principles of natural justice, and therefore, on the said ground alone, said orders deserve to be quashed and set aside to the extent of petitioners in each Petition. 6. The Bombay High Court Bench at Goa in the case of Mrs. Kunda Santosh Kerkar alias Kunda Narayan Kerkar V/s Hon'ble Speaker, Goa Legislative Assembly and ors. (2016(5) Mah.L.J. 593) in similar facts situation observed that the impugned order in the said petition is passed without giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner therein, and accordingly, the said impugned order was quashed and set aside. Kunda Santosh Kerkar alias Kunda Narayan Kerkar V/s Hon'ble Speaker, Goa Legislative Assembly and ors. (2016(5) Mah.L.J. 593) in similar facts situation observed that the impugned order in the said petition is passed without giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner therein, and accordingly, the said impugned order was quashed and set aside. In the facts of that case also the petitioner therein was promoted and thereafter, he was reverted to the original post of Junior Assistant with immediate effect. The said order was passed without hearing the petitioner therein, which came to be quashed on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice. 7. In the light of discussion herein above, the impugned orders dated 14th December, 2017 in respective Writ Petitions, passed by the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Beed are quashed and set aside to the extent of the petitioners. The Petitions are accordingly allowed. Rule made absolute in above terms. However, we make it clear that, we have quashed and set aside the impugned orders only on the ground of non-adherance to the principles of natural justice and not on any other ground. We further make it clear that, though we have allowed these Petitions, the same shall not be construed as an impediment to the concerned Respondent/Respondents from passing an appropriate order/orders on merits of each case.
