Bombay High Court

RAMESH TUKARAM INGLEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS SECRETARY AND ORS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The writ petition is disposed of, and the third respondent is directed to decide the petitioner’s representation within eight weeks.

Summary

Ramesh Tukaram Ingle filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging the inaction of the State of Maharashtra regarding a representation he submitted on 20 November 2025. The petitioner sought relief, but the court observed that the prayer raised was innocuous and did not warrant extensive adjudication. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition, directing the third respondent (a department of the State) to consider the petitioner’s representation on its merits. The court ordered that the decision on the representation be delivered within eight weeks of receipt of the order. No substantive legal questions or statutory provisions were examined beyond the procedural direction.
