Bombay High Court

SARJERAO VISHWANATH CHAVANversusSUNDERLAL DADARAO KHARE

Disposal: DISMISSED
Bench: S G CHAPALGAONKAR

Holding

Petitioners must serve notice to the respondents within four weeks or the petitions shall stand dismissed.

Summary

The Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, listed a large number of pending writ petitions and noted that service of notice to certain respondents was incomplete or unserved due to time constraints or respondents being out of station. The Court directed the petitioners to complete the necessary steps, including issuing notice to the concerned respondents, within four weeks from the date of the order. It warned that failure to comply would result in the dismissal of the petitions without further reference to the Court. The order also directed that any interim relief granted earlier should continue until the notice is properly served. No substantive merits of the petitions were addressed; the focus was solely on procedural compliance regarding service of notice.

Issues considered

Whether the petitioners must serve notice to the respondents within a stipulated time or face dismissal of the writ petitions
Whether interim relief can continue pending proper service of notice

Subjects

service of notice
writ petition
procedural order
interim relief
dismissal
