Holding
The court condoned the delay in the civil application but dismissed the writ petition in accordance with the earlier order.
Summary
The petitioners filed a civil application seeking condonation of delay and a writ petition challenging the State of Maharashtra. The court, after considering the civil application, condoned the delay and restored the writ petition. However, the court noted that the issues raised in the writ petition had already been addressed in an earlier order dated 09.07.2026 in Writ Petition No. 12122/2025 and related petitions. Relying on the reasoning in that earlier order, the court dismissed the writ petition. Thus, while the procedural delay was forgiven, the substantive relief sought in the writ petition was denied.
