RUKHMIN VITTHAL GAYSAMUDREversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THR ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court directed Respondent No. 3 to decide the petitioner's representation in accordance with the 2007 Government Circular and this Court’s earlier orders.

Summary

The petitioner, Rukhmin Vitthal Gaysamudre, filed a writ petition challenging the handling of his representation dated 11 August 2023. The petitioner argued that the decision on his representation was not made in accordance with the Government Circular dated 9 March 2007 and prior orders of this Court. The State of Maharashtra, represented by Mrs. Saie Joshi, opposed the petition. The Bench, comprising Justices Nitin B. Suryawanshi and Abasahab D. Shinde, examined the statutory and judicial guidelines governing such representations. It held that the respondent authority must reconsider the representation in light of the circular and the Court’s earlier directives. Accordingly, the Court disposed of the writ petition by directing Respondent No. 3 to decide the representation within eight weeks of receiving the order.

Issues considered

What is the correct procedure for deciding the petitioner's representation dated 11‑08‑2023 in view of Government Circular dated 09‑03‑2007 and prior judicial orders?
