The said petition was preferred to challenge judgment<br \/>\nand order passed by the Gujarat Primary Education Tribunal, Ahmedabad<br \/>\nin Application No.218 of 1988  dated 2.7.1991.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.<br \/>\n This appeal was filed after lapse of 583 days beyond the period of<br \/>\nlimitation and therefore the same was dismissed by a Coordinate Bench<br \/>\nby order dated 16.3.2007.  The appellants carried the said order to<br \/>\nthe Apex Court, and the Apex Court by order dated 31.8.2009 allowed<br \/>\nCivil Appeal No.5912 of 2009 arising out of SLP (C) No.8608 of 2007.<br \/>\nThe Apex Court expressed a view that the Letters Patent Appeal should<br \/>\nhave been disposed of on merits.  The order was then set aside with a<br \/>\ndirection to this Court to dispose of the Letters Patent Appeal on<br \/>\nmerits.  Hence, the matter is circulated today.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.<br \/>\n Learned advocate Mr.Majmudar appearing on behalf of the appellants<br \/>\nsubmitted that this matter  is required to be heard on merits as per<br \/>\ndirection of the Apex Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.1<br \/>\nLearned advocate Mr.Majmudar appearing for the appellants submitted<br \/>\nthat the tribunal has not considered the fact that the school is<br \/>\nclosed; that the appellant is a minority institution and enjoys<br \/>\ncertain privileges under Article 30 of the Constitution of India; and<br \/>\nthat the institution before passing order is required only to afford<br \/>\nan opportunity to the employee as provided under Section 40-B of the<br \/>\nBombay Primary Education Act, 1947 and that was done in respect of<br \/>\nrespondents No.1  and 2.  He submitted that no formal<br \/>\n termination order is passed in respect of respondents No.3 and 4<br \/>\nas the school was closed.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.2<br \/>\n\t   Mr.Majmudar submitted that the Tribunal  has ordered<br \/>\nreinstatement with full backwages.  The respondents would not have<br \/>\nremained unemployed for so many years and  they have not established<br \/>\nthat they have not gainfully employed during this period.  Still the<br \/>\nTribunal ordered full backwages and reinstatement which is also not<br \/>\nproper. He submitted that the appellant is a minority institution and<br \/>\nthe appellant would be burdened of heavy financial responsibility and<br \/>\ntherefore the appeal may be entertained.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.3<br \/>\n Learned advocate Mr.Majmudar submitted that since the school is<br \/>\nclosed, the appellant is prepared  to settle the dispute with the<br \/>\nrespondents if they are ready to accept compensation in lieu of<br \/>\ntermination and backwages.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.<br \/>\n Learned advocate Ms.Vyas  for  respondents No.1 to 4 submitted that,<br \/>\n the fact that the appellant is a minority institution  is not proved<br \/>\nby the appellants before the tribunal. Even if it is assumed that the<br \/>\nappellant is a minority institution, the right it enjoys is an<br \/>\nexemption from procedure envisaged in clause (ii) of sub-sec.(1)  of<br \/>\nSection 40-B of the Act requiring the institution to have approval of<br \/>\nthe termination.   But clause (i) of the said provisions still<br \/>\ncontinues to operate, and in the instant case, the appellants have<br \/>\nnot followed the principles of natural justice as per findings of<br \/>\nboth the tribunal as well as the learned Single Judge, and therefore,<br \/>\nno protection as minority institution is available to the appellants.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.<br \/>\n  Learned advocate Ms.Vyas submitted that the Apex Court was<br \/>\nexamining the question of delay while observing that the matter has<br \/>\nto be decided on merits, but question of maintainability of appeal<br \/>\nwould also be the question of merit and therefore that question will<br \/>\nhave to be examined by this Court.  She submitted that the petition<br \/>\nwas purely under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, though<br \/>\nnomenclature  as petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India.  This is clear from the prayer clause and<br \/>\ntherefore the order of the learned Single Judge being one in exercise<br \/>\nof jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the<br \/>\nLetters Patent Appeal would not be maintainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.<br \/>\nLearned advocate Mr.Majmudar in rejoinder submitted that, simply<br \/>\nbecause the learned Single Judge observed that the Court is<br \/>\nexercising  jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution  of<br \/>\nIndia, the petition cannot be labelled as one under Article 227 of<br \/>\nthe Constitution  of India.  In support of his submission, he has<br \/>\nrelied on the decisions of the Apex Court in the case of M.M.T.C.<br \/>\nLIMITED vs. COMMISSIONER OF COMMERCIAL TAX AND OTHERS reported in<br \/>\n(2009) 1 SCC 8 and ASHOK K. JHA AND OTHERS vs. GARDEN SILK MILLS AND<br \/>\nANOTHER reported in 2010(1) GLR 502, and submitted that<br \/>\nthe petition was under Article 226 of the Constitution and be<br \/>\ntreated, as such, holding that this appeal would be maintainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.1<br \/>\n   Learned advocate Mr.Majmudar submitted further that the backwages<br \/>\nand reinstatement may not be ordered in light of the  decision in the<br \/>\ncase of SENIOR<br \/>\nSUPERINTENDENT, TELEGRAPH (TRAFFIC), BHOPAL vs SANTOSH KUMAR SEAL AND<br \/>\nOTHERS reported in AIR 2010  SC 2140.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.<br \/>\n   We have considered rival sides submissions.  In the first<br \/>\ninstance, we may record, at the outset, that both the Tribunal as<br \/>\nwell as the learned Single Judge have arrived at a concurrent factual<br \/>\nfinding that there was breach of principles of natural justice while<br \/>\nterminating the services of respondents No.1 to 4 and, therefore, the<br \/>\norder of termination passed in respect of respondents No.1 and 2 was<br \/>\nillegal and nonest, whereas no order of termination has been passed<br \/>\nin respect of respondents No.3 and 4 on the ground that the school is<br \/>\nclosed.  When no such order is passed, obvious there is no question<br \/>\nof having followed principles of natural justice, and therefore, we<br \/>\nfind that no interference is possible in this factual finding of the<br \/>\nTribunal as well as the learned Single Judge and the learned advocate<br \/>\nfor the appellants is also not able to show anything which would show<br \/>\nthat these findings are perverse in any manner.  All that is shown is<br \/>\nthat some show-cause-notice was served to respondents No.1 and 2.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\t\tLearned<br \/>\nadvocate Mr.Majmudar relied on the decision of Sindhi<br \/>\nEducation Society and another vs. The Chief Secretary, Govt. of NCT<br \/>\nof Delhi and others reported in 2010(6) Scale 578.  Having<br \/>\ngone through the judgment, we do not find any observation by the Apex<br \/>\nCourt that minority institution while enjoying benefit of Article 30<br \/>\nof the Constitution of India are not bound to follow principles of<br \/>\nnatural justice or are exempted from following the procedure<br \/>\nprescribed by any  law.  All that the said article provides that they<br \/>\ncan establish an institution and administer the same. The appellants<br \/>\nhave not produced anything to show that they have their own set  of<br \/>\nadministrative rules and, therefore, the appellant would be bound by<br \/>\nthe general law and the principles which they are  bound  to be<br \/>\nfollowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.<br \/>\n We may also observe that the object behind Article 30  is to<br \/>\nfacilitate such minority institution  to achieve excellence in the<br \/>\nfield of education (para 60 of the judgment) and termination of<br \/>\nservices of respondents No.1 to 4, by no stretch of imagination, can<br \/>\nbe said to be undertaken by the appellant for achieving excellence in<br \/>\nthe field of education.  The decision, therefore, will not be helpful<br \/>\nto the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.<br \/>\n Learned advocate relied on the decision in case of Committee<br \/>\nof Management, Kanya Junior High School Bal Vidya Mander, Etah, U.P.<br \/>\nvs. Sachiv, U.P.Basic Shiksha Parishad, Allahabad and others reported<br \/>\nin AIR 2006 SC 2974, to support the contention that prior<br \/>\napproval of District Basic Education Officer is not necessary for<br \/>\nterminating the services of teacher of minority institution. There<br \/>\ncannot be any dispute on this principle if the provision contained<br \/>\nunder Section 40-B of the Act is seen, as discussed earlier, where<br \/>\nthe exemption is from clause (ii) of sub-sec.(1) of Sec.40-B of the<br \/>\nAct.   In the instant case, there is a breach of principles of<br \/>\nnatural justice contemplated under clause (i) of sub-section (1) of<br \/>\nSec.40-B of the Act. The decision, therefore, cannot be helpful to<br \/>\nthe appellants.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.<br \/>\n   So far as the contention that the Tribunal has not given a finding<br \/>\non the question of appellant being a minority institution  enjoys<br \/>\ncertain privileges, we may observe that the protection that the<br \/>\nminority institution enjoys is one under Article 30 of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India which runs as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 30.<br \/>\nRight to minorities to establish and administer education<br \/>\ninstitutions: &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>(1) All<br \/>\nminorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the<br \/>\nright to establish and administer educational institutions of their<br \/>\nchoice.\n<\/p>\n<p>[(1A)  In<br \/>\nmaking any law providing for the compulsory acquisition of any<br \/>\nproperty of an educational institution established and administered<br \/>\nby a minority, referred to in clause (1), the State shall ensure that<br \/>\nthe amount fixed by or determined under such law for the acquisition<br \/>\nof such property is such as would not restrict or abrogate the right<br \/>\nguaranteed under that clause.]<\/p>\n<p>(2)  The<br \/>\nState shall not, in granting aid to educational institutions,<br \/>\ndiscriminate against any educational institution on the ground that<br \/>\nit is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion<br \/>\nor language.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Clause 1 of the said<br \/>\nArticle would be attracted which permits the minorities to establish<br \/>\nan institution and to administer the same.  It does not give any such<br \/>\nexemption from following the requirements of law and principles of<br \/>\nnatural justice while administering the institution. The appellant is<br \/>\nnot able to show any  rules of its administration.  Under the<br \/>\ncircumstances, normal principles of law would be applicable.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.<br \/>\n It may also be noted that, even if the appellant is held to be a<br \/>\nminority institution, it has not followed the principles of natural<br \/>\njustice.  Remanding the matter to the Tribunal for giving a finding<br \/>\non it is not going to serve any purpose, but would only result into<br \/>\ndragging the litigation.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.<br \/>\n  Ms.Vyas was right  in contending  that the Supreme Court has<br \/>\nordered to hear the matter on merits ignoring the delay would mean<br \/>\nthat the question of maintainability will have to be examined by the<br \/>\nCourt as part of merits.  In this context, the judgment relied upon<br \/>\nby learned advocate Mr.Majmudar referred to hereinabove would<br \/>\nestablish that the Courts should  not take a technical approach.  In<br \/>\nthe light of the  said judgment, if the petition is examined, we find<br \/>\nthat, in the cause title, there is reference of Articles 226 and 227<br \/>\nof Constitution of India. However, the prayer clause runs thus:\n<\/p>\n<p> (A)<br \/>\n to allow this petition with costs;\n<\/p>\n<p> (B)<br \/>\n to quash and set aside the judgment Annex. `B&#8217; dated 2.7.1991 passed<br \/>\nby the Primary School Tribunal passed in Application No.218\/1998;\n<\/p>\n<p> (C)<br \/>\n to direct the Tribunal to decide the issue about the applicability<br \/>\nof the provisions of the Primary Education Act and the Rules framed<br \/>\nthereunder and as to whether the petitioner-institution is a minority<br \/>\ninstitution or not and\/or to modify suitably the said order Annex.`B&#8217;<br \/>\nin the facts and circumstances of the case;\n<\/p>\n<p>(D)<br \/>\n to issue interim relief staying the operation and implementation of<br \/>\nthe impugned order Annex. `B&#8217; dated 2nd July 1991 pending the hearing<br \/>\nand final disposal of this special civil application.\n<\/p>\n<p>14.<br \/>\n  A plain reading of the prayers made in the petition and the<br \/>\ncontents of the petition makes it clear that the appellant was<br \/>\ninvoking only the jurisdiction of the High Court  under Article 227<br \/>\nof the Constitution of India. No writ of certiorari is sought for<br \/>\nconstructively by pleading and, therefore, the petition, as rightly<br \/>\nheld by the  learned Single Judge, is  one under Article 227 of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India.  If that is so,  an appeal under Clause 15 of<br \/>\nthe Letters Patent Appeal would not be maintainable  either.  We have<br \/>\nexamined the merits of the case.  We find that the appeal has no<br \/>\nmerits and is not maintainable either.  The appeal, therefore, must<br \/>\nfail and stands dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>15.<br \/>\nIn light of dismissal of the appeal, Civil Application No.3277 of<br \/>\n2010 stands   dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(<br \/>\nA.L.
