Bombay High Court
SHRI. SANJAY SHAMRAO BHOR AND ORS.versusPUNE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND ORS.
- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The writ petition is revived and the interim application is disposed of.
Summary
The petitioners, Sanjay Bhor and others, filed an interim application seeking revival of their writ petition (No. 9668 of 2016) after an earlier order dated 31 January 2023 had caused the petition to lapse. The court noted that in a related writ petition (No. 14928 of 2024) and similar cases, the petitioners had been directed to be reinstated in service, indicating that the substantive issue of regularisation required adjudication on merits. Accordingly, the High Court held that the writ petition should be revived to allow the merits to be determined. The interim application filed for revival was therefore disposed of. The matter was listed for further hearing on 14 October 2026.
Issues considered
- The interim application for revival of a writ petition is maintainable despite the earlier order of 31 January 2023.
Subjects
- revival of writ petition
- interim application

CORAM: SANDEEP V. MARNE, J.
DATED: 8 OCTOBER 2026.
P.C.:
1) Interim Application is filed for revival of Writ Petition in
view of order dated 31 January 2023. It appears that in Writ Petition No.
14928 of 2024 and other similar Petitions, Petitioners are directed to be
reinstated in service. In that view of the matter, the prayer of the
Petitioners for regularization in service needs to be adjudicated on
merits. Accordingly, Writ Petition is revived. Interim Application is
disposed of.
2) List the Petition high on board on 14 October 2026.
