¶14

Issue for consideration

Whether the condition imposed under Government Resolution dated 31.07.2018 - that the petitioner withdraw Writ Petition No. 3489/2015 and give an undertaking on the same paper before his proposal for regularisation would be considered, in connection with payment of enhanced honorarium - was lawful, and whether the petitioner's services ought to be regularised with permanency benefits.

¶9

Court's answer

In view of the submissions that Writ Petition No. 3489/2015 with companion matters had been allowed and the respondent authorities had thereby been directed to regularise the petitioner's services, the purpose of the present writ petition having been served, the Court disposed of the petition. No independent adjudication on the merits of the Government Resolution or of regularisation was made by this Court in this order.

Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench (per court order of Smt. Vibha Kankanwadi and Hiten S. Venegavkar, JJ., dated 03rd February, 2026) in Writ Petition No. 2515 of 2024, Raju Sukhdev Tupsunder v. State of Maharashtra through its Principal Secretary and others: The petitioner had been a party to Writ Petition No. 3489/2015 with companion matters, which raised the common question of creation of posts and permanency benefits for him and similarly situated persons. He thereafter challenged the legality and validity of Government Resolution dated 31.07.2018, under which his proposal for regularisation was to be considered only if he withdrew that writ petition and gave an undertaking on the same paper, in connection with payment for enhancement of honorarium. Counsel for the petitioner and the AGP submitted that Writ Petition No. 3489/2015 with companion matters had since been allowed and the respondent authorities directed to regularise the petitioner's services, so that the purpose of the present petition had been served. The Court, in view of those statements, disposed of the writ petition. No statutory provision or precedent is cited and no monetary amount is determined in this order.
