Summary

The Maharashtra Rajya Kharedi Vikri Sangathana filed writ petition No. 10697 of 2021 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking a direction to the Transport Commissioner to decide on a representation it had sent via email on 13 July 2021. The petitioner alleged that the respondents had not yet taken a decision on the representation.

The direction was issued jointly by Justices Nitin B. Suryawanshi and Vaishali Patil Jadhav. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of, with the Court’s order focusing solely on procedural compliance by the respondents.
