Case Note & Summary
The petitioner, Shri Saint Tukaram Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court challenging an order passed by the State of Maharashtra and others. The impugned order granted permission to the petitioner but used the expression 'permanent non-grant basis,' which the petitioner found objectionable. The Court, after hearing the parties, observed that the petition could be conveniently disposed of by directing the petitioner to apply to the Government making a grievance against the last part of the impugned order. The Court clarified that it would be open to the petitioner to point out to the Government or the concerned authority all his grievances in relation to the use of the term 'permanent non-grant basis.' With these observations, the writ petition was disposed of without any further orders. The Court did not adjudicate on the merits of the term but provided the petitioner with an opportunity to seek clarification or modification from the Government.
