Summary

The petitioner, Bhaskar Mahadev Ware, filed a civil application and a writ petition before the Aurangabad Bench of the High Court of Bombay seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra. The petition raised objections concerning the representation dated 14 February 2022 and alleged procedural delays. The Court first condoned the delay in filing and allowed the civil application, removing the office objections raised against the petitioner. It then disposed of the writ petition, directing Respondent No.2 to decide the petitioner's representation on its merits after providing a hearing to all parties. The decision on the representation must be rendered within eight weeks from the first appearance of the parties.
