mss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO. 3599 OF 2009 RAHUL NARAYAN GHOSH .. PETITIONERS Vs. THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & ORS. RESPONDENTS Mr. M. S. Ghosh i/b Ms. Khushbu Prabhu for the petitioner Mrs. S. S. Bhende, AGP Mr. R. A. Rodrigues for R-3 CORAM: SMT. RANJANA DESAI & A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATED: 2/9/2009 P.C. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The question is whether the petitioner has committed a mistake in mentioning Home University as Pune or there is any malafide intent and if it is purely a mistake what is the effect thereof. Admittedly respondent 4 Pravesh Niyantran Samiti has not given a hearing to the petitioner. In the circumstances of the case, in our opinion, this is a fit case where the 4th respondent should give a hearing to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the parties are agreed that no reasons are necessary for this direction. Hence we direct the 4th respondent to give a hearing to the petitioner. The 4th respondent shall also hear the representative of the Directorate of Technical Education and pass appropriate order. Considering the fact that the petitioner’s admission is cancelled the 4th respondent is directed to complete the entire exercise within a period of there weeks from the date of receipt of this order by it. Copy of the order passed by the 4th respondent be made available to the petitioner. 3. Needless to say that, if the 4th respondent’s order is adverse to the petitioner it will be open to the petitioner to adopt appropriate remedy. We make it clear that we have not considered the merits of the case and all contentions of all parties are kept open. Petition is disposed of. (Smt. Ranjana Desai, J.) (A. A. Sayed, J.)
