- Disposal
- DISMISSED
Holding
The petition is dismissed.
Summary
The petitioner, Dr. Sanjay Subhash Sontakke, filed a writ petition challenging an order of the State of Maharashtra. The Court observed that the issue raised was identical to that decided in Writ Petition No. 6549 of 2026 (Dr. Maya Raghunath Kagne v. State of Maharashtra). The earlier decision, delivered by the Coordinated Bench, had dismissed similar petitions after detailed reasoning. Relying on that precedent, the Bench found no merit in the present petition. Consequently, the petition was dismissed for the same reasons as in the earlier case.
Issues considered
