The petitioners have filed the present petition contending that because of the inaction of the State, their affiliation to Respondent No. 6 will be cancelled by the University. It is contended that CCIM i.e. Respondent No. 2 has provided for the staff strength to be employed in each college affiliated to the Health university. According to the petitioners, unless the government sanctions these posts, they cannot employ new persons as a result of which, 2 although the petitioners desire to increase the staff strength, they cannot do so. 2. An additional affidavit has been filed by Respondent No.4 i.e. the Secretary to the Govt. of Maharashtra in Medical Education and Drugs Department, in which he has stated: "3. I say that Directorate of Ayurved, Maharashtra State, Mumbai submitted a proposal of creation of new posts as per the norms of Central Council of Indian Medicine, New Delhi in the 19 Grant-in-aid Ayurved and Unani Colleges. The said proposal was submitted by my Department to Finance Department for administrative approval. The said Department have raised some queries and returned the said File to Medical Education and Drugs Department. This Department after satisfying the queries resubmitted the file to Finance Department 3 for administrative approval. After getting the administrative approval the said proposal will be placed before the Cabinet for decision. However, some more time is required for Cabinet decision. In such circumstances time limit could not be assured. 4. The proposal of creation of new posts is in process. The policy has to be decided by the Finance Department and Cabinet depending on the financial feasibility of such new items which incurred heavy expenditure on the Government. It is a policy matter and the final policy decision will be taken by the Cabinet. Whatever will be the policy decision of the Cabinet, Government will communicate it to petitioner. " 5. We accept this statement made by the State and dispose of the petition. It is hoped that the 4 State will take a policy decision in this regard within six months from today. Petition disposed of, accordingly. (M.T. JOSHI,J.) (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.) pnd/wp32/08
