JUDGEMENT

(1.) The Petitioner has challenged the order of the Education Officer (Secondary), Zilla Parishad, Solapur dated 31.12.1994 fixing the seniority and declaring the Petitioner to be junior to Respondent No.5. This decision was taken by the Education Officer after Respondent No.5 had approached this Court by filing Writ Petition No.1717 of 1994 complaining about the fixation of his seniority. This Court had disposed off the aforesaid writ petition with specific directions to the Education Officer to decide the dispute between the petitioner and Respondent No.5 herein, regarding their inter se seniority, within a stipulated time. The Education Officer found that the grievance of Respondent No.5 was correct and that he was senior to the Petitioner. Aggrieved by this decision, the Petitioner has challenged the order.

(2.) The facts giving rise to the present Petition are as follows:

(3.) Respondent No.5 on the other hand, was appointed as an Assistant Teacher on 24.11.1983. When he was appointed, Respondent No.5 had already completed his M.A. in Hindi in 1972 and B.Ed. in 1976. He completed his M.A. in English in 1991.
