1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO.45 OF 2008 Dwarika Sangmnerkar Medical Foundation and another. ......Petitioners. V/s State of Maharashtra & another ....... Respondents. ------ Mr. A.V. Anturkar, Senior Advocate instructed by Mr. Sugandh Deshmukh for the petitioners. Mr. S.R. Nargolkar, AGP for the State. ------- CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. AND V.M.KANADE, J. DATE : 10TH APRIL, 2008. P.C.: 1. We have heard the learned Counsel for the parties. 2. We have every doubt whether prayers made in this Petition can be entertained in public interest litigation. The Court would be hardly in a position to issue mandamus in regard to the maintenance of law and order in the State, including various hospitals. Further, no mandamus could be issued to the State for exercising its legislative powers. 3. Be that as it may, the learned Counsel for the State fairly stated 2 that they would treat this Petition as representation, look into the matter and take appropriate action in accordance with law, expeditiously. 4. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Respondents will abide by their statement. CHIEF JUSTICE V.M. KANADE, J.
