Summary
Koyta Infotech Private Ltd, through its director, filed Writ Petition No. 11796 of 2026 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging the inaction of a government department. The petitioner sought a direction that Respondent No.3 decide the representation/application dated 14 July 2026 on its merits. The State of Maharashtra, as Respondent, opposed the petition. After hearing counsel Mr. B.A. Chavan for the petitioner and Mr. V.M. Kagne for the State, the Court held that the petitioner was entitled to a timely decision. Consequently, the Court ordered Respondent No.3 to decide the representation within eight weeks of receipt of the order. The petition was disposed by this procedural direction without addressing the substantive merits of the representation.
