1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No. 1256/2010 Mohd. Farukh Haji Abdul Gaffar -: versus :- State of Maharashtra and others Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : MARCH 15, 2010. Heard Shri A.V. Gawande, learned counsel for petitioner and Shri Sonare, learned AGP for respondent nos. 1 and 2. Service upon other respondents for the present is dispensed with. Learned AGP is seeking time to obtain instructions in the matter. However, considering the nature of grievance made by Shri Gawande, learned counsel for petitioner, that request was rejected. Learned counsel for petitioner states that appeal filed by petitioner before the Hon’ble Chief Minister is pending and as there is a prayer for grant of interim relief, the same deserves to be considered immediately. According to him for more than 8 days the petitioner could not even see the Hon’ble Chief Minister and hence could not obtain appropriate orders. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner as well as respondents no.1 and 2 on merits to certain extent 2 and I find that any observation by this Court on merits at this stage may affect the consideration of the appeal by the Hon’ble Chief Minister. Hence the Hon’ble Chief Minister shall attempt to decide the prayer for interim relief moved by the petitioner as early as possible. With these directions writ petition is disposed of, with no order as to cost. Liberty to petitioner to approach again if his prayer is not considered within a reasonable time. Certified copy expedited. JUDGE Rgd.
