Bombay High Court

SHAH SHAHBAZ FARUK SHAHversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THR ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court directed respondent No.3 to decide on the petitioner’s representation dated 06.02.2026 on its merits within four weeks.

Summary

Shah Shahbaz Faruk Shah filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The petitioner had submitted a representation on 06.02.2026 which remained pending without a decision. The petition raised the issue of undue delay in adjudicating the representation. The Court examined the petition and found no sufficient justification for the continued inaction by respondent No.3. Consequently, the Court directed respondent No.3 to consider the representation on its merits and render a decision within four weeks of receiving a copy of the order. The writ petition was therefore disposed of with the specified directive.
