Bombay High Court

THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS PRINCIPAL SECRETARY AND ORS.versusSHIVAJI UNIVERSITY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION (SUTA) THROUGH ITS SECRETARY

Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The civil revision application is disposed of as withdrawn.

Summary

The State of Maharashtra filed a civil revision application seeking to withdraw a writ petition (WP No. 995 of 2019) filed by the Shivaji University Teachers Association (SUTA). The State asserted that, pursuant to Government Resolutions dated 13 August 2018 and 27 December 2018, the entire amount due to the original petitioners had already been disbursed. It further contended that the Review Petition filed by the State before the Supreme Court had been disposed of on 22 February 2018, rendering further proceedings unnecessary. The respondents did not contest the withdrawal. The High Court, after considering the submissions, disposed of the civil revision application as withdrawn. Consequently, the matter was closed without any further adjudication on the merits.
