SHREE SAI BABA SANSTHAN TRUST SHIRDI THROUGH ITS EXECUTIVE ENGINEERversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court allowed the civil application, finding no difficulty in permitting the issuance of the e‑tender under the resolution.

Summary

Shree Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, through its Executive Engineer, filed a civil application seeking the High Court's permission to implement Resolution No.192 dated 02‑06‑2026, which authorises the issuance of an e‑tender for the annual maintenance contract of 23 diesel generator sets and 5 occasional‑use diesel generator sets, with estimated costs of Rs.68,05,146 and Rs.5,85,705 respectively. The Trust argued that the resolution, passed by the Adhoc Committee of the Sansthan, is necessary for proper maintenance of its assets. The State of Maharashtra opposed, contending that the court’s intervention was unnecessary. The Court examined whether there was any legal impediment to granting such permission. Finding none, the Court held that there was no difficulty in allowing the application and granted the relief sought in the prayer clause (B). The civil application was therefore allowed.

Issues considered

Whether the High Court can grant permission to implement a resolution authorising an e‑tender for the annual maintenance of diesel generator sets.
