Holding

The petitions will be automatically dismissed if the petitioners fail to supply the required spare copies within three weeks.

Summary

The Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, heard a batch of writ petitions (including WP 4721/2025, WP 9347/2025, etc.) where the petitioners were required to serve spare copies of the petitions on the respondents. The Court directed the petitioners to supply these spare copies within three weeks from the order date. If the copies are supplied, the Court will issue notice to the respondents and set a four‑week return date. However, the Court warned that failure to provide the spare copies within the stipulated period will result in automatic dismissal of the petitions without further reference to the Court. The interim relief, if any, granted earlier will continue until the deadline. The order also listed the advocates representing the State respondents.
