The Bombay High Court directed the state to decide a complaint filed by an ILS Law College student against the institution by August 11, while disposing of a writ petition, noting the matter is already under the state’s consideration.
A division bench of Justices R.I. Chagla and Farhan P. Dubash, in an order passed on July 14, directed the Higher and Technical Education Department to complete the hearing process and pass a fresh reasoned order within two weeks of the scheduled hearing on July 28.
ILS Law college student Mayur Suhas Garud had filed the petition, contending that an earlier high court order dated February 12, 2026, had not been complied with. His counsel informed the court that despite directions issued in a connected matter on May 7, the state had not yet decided his complaint.
During the hearing, the state government, through Assistant Government Pleader V.S. Nimbalkar, informed the court that the petitioner’s hearing was scheduled for July 28 and notices had already been issued to all concerned parties.
Recording the statement, the bench directed the state to hear the petitioner, the Indian Law Society (ILS) and other parties connected with the dispute before passing a decision on the complaint by August 11.
