DNYANESHWAR PRALHADRAO RENGEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THR ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: N B SURYAWANSHI ABASAHEB D SHINDE

Holding

The petition is dismissed as the matter is already decided in an earlier judgment, and the respondents are directed to comply with the earlier order.

Summary

The petitioner, Dnyaneswar Pralhadrao Renge, filed a writ petition seeking inclusion in the Shalarth Pranali and issuance of a Shalarth ID. The Court observed that the issues raised were identical to those decided in Writ Petition No.1520/2026 dated 04.03.2026. Relying on that precedent, the Court disposed of the present petition. It directed Respondent Nos.5 and 6 to furnish specific documents within four weeks, after which the Divisional Deputy Director of Education must consider the petitioner’s proposal and, if no deficiency is found, include the petitioner in the Shalarth Pranali and issue a Shalarth ID within another four weeks. The petition was therefore dismissed as the matter had already been settled.

             PER COURT:

             1.           Admittedly, the issue raised in this petition is squarely

             covered by the judgment of this Court (Coram: Smt. Vibha

             Kankanwadi and Hiten S. Venegavkar, JJ.) dated 04.03.2026 in Writ

             Petition No.1520/2026. The petitioner is similarly circumstanced,

             hence, for the reasons stated in the said order the writ petition is

             disposed of as follows :

             2.           The respondent Nos.5 and 6 shall supply the documents as

             are mentioned in the communication dated 17.02.2026 addressed by

             the Deputy Director of Education to the Education Officer along with
                                2                        84.WP.6376.26.odt

the proposal of the petitioner dated 02.04.2026 submitted by the

respondents within a period of four (4) weeks from today. On receipt

of the said documents and the proposal, the respondent No.3 -

Divisional Deputy Director of Education, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, is

therefore directed to decide the proposal dated 02.04.2026 and

include the name of the petitioner in the Shalarth Pranali and issue

Shalarth ID within four (04) weeks from the date of receipt of this

order, in case there is no deficiency.
