FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 8197 OF 2009 (Milind Shikshan Prasarak Mandal & Anr Vs. State and Ors.) ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ The grievance raised in this petition is essentially regarding inaction of respondent Nos. 1 and 2 in deciding the proposal submitted by the petitioners for additional divisions to the petitioner No.2 school as per the recommendations letter dated 20.8.2007. After waiting for almost two years and having exasperated, the petitioners have approached this Court in November, 2009 complaining that no decision has been taken by the Authorities, who were obliged to examine the said proposal. If the said proposal is still pending, we deprecate the attitude of the said respondents in not deciding the said proposal. If the additional divisions were to be allotted, the students community in the locality would have been benefited. Be that as it may, the Authority, who is obliged to decide the proposal cannot keep the proposal pending beyond reasonable time, much less for two years. In the circumstances, we dispose of this petition with direction to the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 to consider and decide the proposal submitted by the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible, in any case not later than eight weeks from today and submit compliance report in the Registry of this Court, within the time specified. Besides, the decision, so taken by the Authority, will be communicated to the petitioners within the said time. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (S. S. SHINDE. J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
