Bombay High Court

MARATHWADA UNDER PRIVILEGED TEACHERS ASSOCIATION, AURANGABADversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is dismissed as the matter is covered by the Full Bench judgment.

Summary

The Marathwada Under Privileged Teachers Association filed a writ petition challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petition was argued by Mr. U. R. Awate, while the State was represented by Mr. P. K. Lakhotiya and Mr. V. A. Bagdiya. The Court observed that the issues raised were already decided by a Full Bench judgment in Dilipkumar Bhagwan Deshmukh v. State of Maharashtra (2019). Accordingly, the Court disposed of the present petition without further hearing. The Court, however, kept the petition open for re‑filing if the Full Bench decision is later reversed or modified on appeal.
