- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The petition is dismissed as the matter is squarely covered by the earlier decision in Writ Petition No. 6549 of 2026, and the interim relief is continued for six weeks.
Summary
Dr. Savita Shivraj Kamble filed a writ petition challenging the non‑performance affidavit (NPA) of doctors. The petition had been pending and an interim relief was in operation. The Court first allowed an application to condone delay, restoring the writ petition to its original position. It then noted that the issue was already decided by the coordinate bench in Writ Petition No. 6549 of 2026, which dismissed the earlier petition. Accordingly, the present petition was dismissed, but the interim relief was ordered to continue for six weeks from the date of the order.
Issues considered
- Whether the delay in filing the application seeking condonation can be condoned.
- Whether the challenge to the NPA of the doctors raised in the writ petition is maintainable in view of the earlier decision in Writ Petition No. 6549 of 2026.

- NPA
