Bombay High Court

VASANT MAHADEO BORAVAKEversusTHE CIRCLE OFFICER PUNTAMBA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SIDDHESHWAR SUNDARRAO THOMBRE

Holding

The court ordered that the same relief granted in the earlier petitions be granted in the present petition.

Summary

The petitioner, Vasant Mahadeo Boravake, filed a writ petition seeking relief that had previously been adjudicated by the same court in Writ Petition Nos. 3974/2020 and 3978/2020. The petitioner’s counsel submitted the order dated 08‑04‑2022 from those earlier cases, urging that the same order be granted here. The learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondent confirmed that the issues were identical. The bench, noting the prior decision and the submission of the earlier order, held that the same relief should be granted in the present petition. Consequently, the petition was allowed in accordance with prayer clauses (B) and (C).

Issues considered

Whether the relief sought in the present writ petition is identical to that decided in Writ Petition Nos. 3974/2020 and 3978/2020 and therefore should be granted.

                                   VASANT MAHADEO BORAVAKE
                                              VERSUS
                            THE CIRCLE OFFICER PUNTAMBA AND OTHERS

                Mr. Sanket S. Kulkarni and Mr. S. D. Kulkarni, Advocate for the

                                        CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.
                                        DATE : 9th MARCH 2026
                P.C.:-

                1.          The identical issue has already been decided by this Court

                in the case of Vasant Mahadeo Boravake Vs. The Circle Officer & Ors.

                In Writ Petition No. 3974 of 2020 with Writ Petition No.3978 of 2020 .

                The learned AGP also fairly confirms the same. I am inclined to take

                the same view.

                2.        Mr. Sanket S. Kulkarni and Mr. S. D. Kulkarni tender a copy

                of the order dated 08.04.2022 passed in the said petitions and submits

                that a similar order deserves to be passed in the present petition.

                3.        As the order passed in Writ Petition Nos.3974 of 2020 with

                3978 of 2020 squarely applies to the present case, the similar order is

                passed in the present petition.

                4.          For the aforesaid reasons, the petition is allowed in terms

                of prayer clause (B) and (C).

                                                    (SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.)
