Orders
Case Summary: IA/2524/2026 The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition seeking mandamus to compel MCGM and its Executive Engineer to enforce a stop work notice issued on 31 December 2024. The court found that the statutory authorities had already performed their duty by issuing the notice, and rejected the plea as lacking bona fide, holding that the petitioner was attempting to misuse court processes to harass the opposing parties (respondents 4-6). The court declined to entertain the substitution application filed after the original petitioner's death, emphasizing that writ jurisdiction cannot be used to monitor every action of statutory authorities or serve individual interests. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
