Bombay High Court

PRAMOD RANOJI SHINDEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed, with the interim protection to continue for six weeks.

Summary

Dr. Pramod Ranoji Shinde filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petition sought relief and questioned the grant of interim protection. The Court observed that the matter was identical to the petitions decided in Writ Petition No. 6549 of 2026 (Dr. Maya Raghunath Kagne v. State of Maharashtra). Relying on the detailed reasoning in that earlier order, the Court dismissed the present petition. However, it ordered that the interim protection already granted continue for a further six weeks from the date of the order.

Issues considered

Whether the writ petition should be dismissed in view of the decision in Writ Petition No. 6549 of 2026?
Whether the interim protection granted to the petitioner should be continued for six weeks?

                                         DATE : 02nd SEPTEMBER, 2026

              PER COURT :

              1.      The issue raised in this petition is squarely covered by the

              decision rendered by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Writ

              Petition No. 6549 of 2026 [Dr. Maya Raghunath Kagne vs. The State

              of Maharashtra and Others], and connected writ petitions, decided

              on 30.07.2026, wherein by giving detail reasons, the Writ Petitions

              filed by the similarly circumstanced petitioners are dismissed.

              2.      In this view of the matter, for the reasons recorded in the said

              order, the Writ Petition is dismissed.

              3.      Since the Co-ordinate Bench has continued the interim

              protection for a period of 06 weeks, in the present matter also the

              interim protection shall continue to operate for a period of 06 weeks

              from today.



              (ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, J.)                 (NITIN B. SURYAWANSHI, J.)
