Summary
Manilal Kalidas Patel filed a writ petition (No. 8116 of 2014) against the State of Maharashtra and others, seeking relief. The petition has been pending since 2014, while the underlying eviction suit dates back to 2009. The petitioner filed an interim application (ST No. 12368 of 2025) requesting that the writ petition be taken up for final hearing and a disposal date be fixed. The Court noted the inordinate delay in adjudicating the matter. Considering the long pendency, the Court allowed the interim applications. It directed that the writ petition be listed for final disposal on 5 February 2026 along with other pending applications.
