1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.10504 OF 2009 ... Karmyogi Babanraoji Shinde ...Petitioner v/s. State of Maharashtra & ors. ...Respondents ... Mr.Vishwasrao S.Deokar with Ms.V.S.Wagchal for the Petitioner. Mr.s.N.patil AGP for State. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH, & A.R.JOSHI, JJ DATED: 6th January, 2010 P.C.: 1. The Petitioner by this petition challenges the Government Order dated 7th November, 2009, by which in Madha taluka in the State of Maharashtra the college of the 2 Respondent No.5 has been admitted to grant- in-aid. Admitted fact is that according to the Petitioner the Petitioner s college was established in the year 2002, whereas the college of the Respondent No.5 was established in the year 2004. Both colleges are Science colleges. It appears from the Government s order dated 7 th November, 2009 that the policy decision taken by the Government is that in each taluka of State of Maharashtra out of existing Science colleges at least one college should receive grant-in- aid from Government. For implementation of that policy, Study Group was constituted to submit a report and on the basis of that report the Respondent No.5 has been given grant-in-aid. The case of the Petitioner is that though the grant-in-aid was given to the education institution in the academic year 2009-10, because the Petitioner was 3 established earlier than the college of Respondent No.5, the Petitioner should have given grant-in-aid. But we do not find that there is any policy decision that while giving grant-in-aid the point of time, at which the education institution is started, is to be taken into consideration. We find that the decision to extend grant-in-aid is taken by Government after calling for the report of the Study Group. There are no allegations of malice made against anybody and therefore, in our opinion, no fault can be found with the decision of the Government. Petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.)
