IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO.151 OF 1993 IN WRIT PETITION NO.2735 OF 1993 Messrs Moosa Haji Mahomed Killedar and brothers and others ... Appellants Vs The State of Maharashtra and others ... Respondents Mr. S.D. Patil for the appellants. Mr. R.M. Patne, Assistant Government Pleader for the State. CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J., & S.A. BOBDE , J. DATE : 29TH SEPTEMBER , 2008 P.C.: We find from the record that despite the order dated 19th June, 2008, the Revenue Minister for State of Maharashtra has not passed any order on the representation despite all the material being placed before him. On the statement made by the learned counsel upon instructions from the Under Secretary, Revenue Department, two months time was granted as prayed. 2. Today, after lapse of nearly three months and ten days, no order has been passed by the concerned Minister for which we see no reason or justification. It was obligatory on the part of the Minister to comply with the directions of this court. We are unable to appreciate this attitude of the State Government. 3. Now, the learned counsel submits that under any circumstances, the concerned Minister would pass appropriate order. We believe the statement and dispose of this petition with the direction to the government to ensure that the order is passed within two weeks from today in terms of the order of the Court dated 19th June, 2008, failing which we make it clear that all concerned authorities including the Revenue Minister would be liable to be proceeded against in accordance with law. Writ petition stands disposed of with no order as to costs. CHIEF JUSTICE S.A. BOBDE, J.
