Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Premature writ petition; writ of mandamus against statutory authority refused where authority has not yet failed in its statutory duty; proposal dated 21st January, 2025 regarding 2017 appointment without advertisement; backdoor entry objection raised by AGP; petition disposed of, proposal left to be decided on merits. Keywords: mandamus, prematurity, statutory authority, no advertisement, backdoor entry, Maharashtra.
What did the court decide?
A writ of mandamus to a statutory authority to exercise jurisdiction vested in it by law is issued only after the Court is convinced that the statutory Authority has failed to perform the duty cast on it by law; consequently, this Bench declined to entertain the Petition filed merely six days after the proposal was filed. ¶17
