possible to accept this submission. The question that is raised in that appeal is whether the purported resignation letter dated 7.8.2013 is signed by the petitioner herein. It is in that context, the Tribunal has directed sending original letter to the handwriting expert's opinion. In case, the opinion is obtained and is in favour of the petitioner, the petitioner's stand that said letter is not signed by him will be vindicated. Mr. Dalal submitted that though the petitioner was ready and willing to supply his specimen signatures, the Tribunal is not permitting him to supply the specimen signatures. In my opinion, appropriate directions can be issued to the Tribunal to take specimen signatures of the petitioner in the presence of the representative to be deputed by Mr. Sanjay Kumar. Subject to this, no case is made out for interfering with the impugned order. Petition fails and the same is dismissed. Liberty is reserved to the petitioner to apply to the Tribunal for disposal of the appeal in a time bound manner. If such an application is made, the Tribunal will bear in mind the provisions of Section 10(3) of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977. Order accordingly.
