- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed and the matter is to be decided by the pending civil suit.
Summary
The petitioners, Kashibai R. Nalawade and others, filed Writ Petition No. 8319 of 2018 before the High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and other respondents. The Court observed that a regular civil suit (No. 199 of 2014) concerning the same dispute was already pending before the Joint Civil Judge, Junior Division, Paithan. Consequently, the Court held that the writ petition could not be entertained while the civil suit remained unresolved. The petition was therefore disposed of, and any pending civil applications were also dismissed. The Court directed that the civil suit be decided on its own merits in accordance with law.
Issues considered
