Holding
The Court held that Respondent No.5 must decide the petitioners' proposals on its own merit within eight weeks.
Summary
Two writ petitions (Nos. 10220 and 10243 of 2026) were filed by Ganesh Bapuroa Gulve and Sharad Chandrabh an Shinde respectively against the State of Maharashtra seeking relief concerning proposals they had submitted on 2 January 2026. Both petitions were heard by a two‑judge bench of the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad. The petitioners, represented by Advocate Shivaji T. Shelke, asked the State to consider their proposals on merit. The Court did not adjudicate the merits of the proposals but directed Respondent No.5 to decide the proposals on its own merit within eight weeks of receipt of the order. Consequently, the writ petitions were disposed of subject to this compliance direction.
