Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court directed that the petitioner’s representation be forwarded to the appropriate authority for decision within the stipulated time.

Summary

Dr. Siddiqui Yasmeen Sultana filed writ petition No. 3784 of 2026 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad bench, challenging the failure of Respondent No.4 to forward her representation dated 29 August 2025 to the competent authority. The petitioner sought a directive that the representation be transmitted to Respondent No.2 for consideration. The Court examined the procedural lapse and the need for the representation to be examined by the appropriate authority. Relying on principles of administrative efficiency and the petitioner’s right to have her representation considered, the Court held that the delay was untenable. Accordingly, the Court ordered Respondent No.4 to forward the representation within two weeks and directed Respondent No.2 to decide on it within four weeks. The petition was disposed with these directions.
