Holding

Summary

Two writ petitions were filed by groups of students against the State of Maharashtra challenging the non‑implementation of directions issued by the District Level Grievance Redressal Committee, Latur, dated 18 September 2025. The petitioners, represented by Mr. Shirsat Suhas R, sought a court order directing the Deputy Director of Education, Latur, to carry out those directions. The Court examined whether the administrative authority was bound to comply with the committee’s directives. Relying on principles of administrative law, the Court held that the Deputy Director must obey the committee’s orders. Accordingly, the petitions were disposed of with an order directing compliance within four weeks of receipt of the copy of the order.
