Bombay High Court

GANESH SUNIL KOLIversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS

Decided: 4 March 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: SUMAN SHYAM SHYAM C CHANDAK

Holding

Since the Caste Scrutiny Committee had already decided the controversy, the writ petition was held to be infructuous and was dismissed.

Summary

Ganesh Sunil Koli filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petitioner argued that the Caste Scrutiny Committee had already resolved the dispute in question. The respondents did not appear or make submissions. The Court, after hearing the petitioner's counsel, noted that the matter had been finally decided by the Committee. Consequently, the Court found the petition to be infructuous. The writ petition was therefore disposed without further hearing.
