RAMKISAN DASHRATH GIRI AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Holding

The writ petition was disposed of, with the Court directing the Tribunal to decide the pending applications as expeditiously as possible.

Summary

The petitioners filed a writ petition challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra while their original applications were pending before a Tribunal. The High Court noted that the substantive matters were already before the Tribunal and therefore the writ petition could not be entertained on its merits. Instead, the Court directed the Tribunal to decide the pending applications as quickly as possible. No substantive legal reasoning on the merits of the petition was required. The petition was consequently disposed of, with the sole order being for expeditious disposal by the Tribunal.
