Palkar, Assistant Government Pleader, for the Respondents. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: JULY 29, 2009 P.C.:- The Government had promulgated an Act, viz., the Maharashtra Education and Employment Guarantee (Cess) Act, 1962. By a Circular dated 29th March, 1985, the Government had suspended recovery of Special Cess from 1985 onwards. 2. Thereafter, this Circular was revoked by another Circular dated 22nd March, 2002. The petitioners want that the Circular revoking the earlier Circular should be quashed by this Court. 2 3. There is no basis for such a relief. No provision of the Act has been challenged. The Government, at one point of time, decided not to make recovery under the Act, and later, revised their view, and as long as the Act is there on the statute book, it has to be implemented. 4. We do not find any merit in the petition. It is accordingly dismissed. The Rule is discharged. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J.
