Holding

Summary

The Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, issued a procedural order in a batch of writ petitions (Nos. 8910, 10011, 13170 of 2025 and 281, 283, 289, 1400 of 2026). The petitioners were directed to furnish spare copies of the petitions for service on the respondents within three weeks. If the spare copies are supplied, the court will issue notice to the respondents, which must be returned within two weeks. Failure to comply within the stipulated time will result in automatic dismissal of the petitions without further judicial consideration. The court allowed any interim relief sought by the petitioners to continue until the deadline. The order was pronounced by Justice S.G. Chapalgaonkar.
