DATE : 27th JULY, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Counsel for the parties. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. By consent, take up for final hearing. 2. The question raised in this petition is identical to one already answered by this Court in Writ Petition No. 1798 of 2011 decided on 13th April, 2011 in the case of Bhartiya Suraksha Rakshak & General Kamgar Union Vs. State of Maharashtra and Ors. Even this petition ought to succeed on the same terms and reasons. Accordingly, we dispose of this petition by directing the appropriate authority of the State Government to take decision on the proposal dated 18th March, 2010 : 2 : wp-916-11=.sxw (Exh. E to the petition) submitted by the Board within EIGHT weeks from today. If some decision on the said proposal has already been taken by the State Government, it be communicated to the board as well as Union, as the case may be, forthwith. 3. In the event, no decision has been taken, the same shall be taken within EIGHT weeks from today and be communicated to the Board as well as Union within the same time. 4. Counsel for the petitioner has made grievance that the State Government has not taken any decision as was directed in the above said order dated 13th April, 2011 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 1798 of 2011. It will be open to the petitioner to pursue that grievance before the appropriate forum, which will be decided on its own merits. However, if this grievance is correct, we hope and trust that the State Government will take remedial measures forthwith and in any case comply with the directions now given in the present petition within the specified time, failing which the Court may view that inaction as aggravating the contempt of Court, if the petitioner brings that position to the notice of the Court in future. 5. Petition disposed of accordingly. (R.Y.GANOO, J.) (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
