Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of the writ petitions and disposed of them, while extending the interim order for four weeks.

Summary

The petitioners, Asaram Kudadji Falke and Bramdeo Asaram Kale, filed writ petitions challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The petitioners sought to withdraw the petitions, citing the existence of an alternate legal remedy. The Court, after hearing counsel, granted liberty to withdraw the petitions and ordered that the time spent on these petitions be taken into account by the concerned authority. The interim order dated 13.01.2014 was directed to remain in force for an additional four weeks from the date of this order. Consequently, the writ petitions were disposed of without a substantive decision on the merits.

Issues considered
