State of Maharashtra & Ors. : Respondents .... Mr.S.B.Deshmukh for the petitioners. Ms S.S.Bhende, Asstt. Govt. Pleader for respondent nos.1 & 2. .... CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE : MARCH 25, 2011. P.C.: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader appearing for the respondent nos.1 & 2. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that for the time being, the petitioners would be content if the respondent no.3 was directed to decide the representations made by the petitioners in the light of the Government Resolution dated 31.7.2009. In the circumstances, the petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to agitate all questions before the respondent no.3. The respondent no.3 in turn is directed to dispose of the representations filed by the petitioners as 2 wp2178.11 expeditiously as possible and, in any case, not later than 31.5.2011, if already not disposed of. If the representation is already disposed of, the respondent no.3 would be free to communicate his decision to the petitioner forthwith. If the said decision is adverse to the petitioners, it will be open to the petitioners to assail the same by way of appropriate proceedings. All questions in that behalf are kept open. We are passing this order on the assumption that the respondent no.3 would not be opposed to the limited relief given to the petitioners in terms of this order to pursue the pending representations before the said authority. 3. Petition is disposed of. (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.) (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.)
