Orders
Case Summary: WP/10192/2025 The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) quashed the disqualification of petitioner Balaji Devkatte from the post of Director of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC), Udgir. The court found that authorities erroneously disqualified him under Rule 10(1)(g) of the Maharashtra APMC Election Rules, 2017, which applies to government servants or local authority employees. The court held that private school teachers receiving grant-in-aid cannot be classified as government servants or local authority servants, citing established precedent. However, the court allowed respondents to pursue a fresh disqualification challenge on the alternative ground that the petitioner may not meet the statutory definition of "agriculturist" under the APMC Act, 1963. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
