Bombay High Court

MADHVASHRAM COLLEGE THROUGH ITS SECRETARYversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH THE SECRETARY AND ANR

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The court held that the State must decide the pending proposal within twelve weeks of receipt of the order.

Summary

Madhvashram College filed a writ petition seeking a decision on a pending proposal submitted to the State of Maharashtra. The petitioners, represented by Mr. Vinod B. Jadhav, argued that the State had unduly delayed consideration of the proposal. The State, represented by Mr. S.K. Tambe, AGP, contended that no specific legal breach was established. The High Court, after hearing both sides, directed Respondent No.1 (the State) to decide the pending proposal within twelve weeks of receiving a copy of the order. The petition was consequently disposed with this directive.

Issues considered

What specific relief, if any, should be granted to Madhvashram College regarding the pending proposal before the State?
