The Bombay High Court has dismissed petitions challenging a Maharashtra Government Resolution (GR) on the procurement and supply of certain agricultural items, terming them “totally baseless”.
Finding no merit in the Public Interest Litigation and a writ petition filed against GR of March 12, 2024, the court also imposed a cost of one lakh on the petitioners.
The pleas were dismissed by a division bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sandeep Marne on July 22.
As per the detailed order, made available on Friday, the bench ruled that the challenge to the government’s decision was “totally baseless and deserves rejection”.
The court said it did not find any error in the GR concerning the procurement of five items under a special action plan for productivity enhancement and value chain development of cotton, soybean and other oilseeds.
