In Shri Dipak Bhaskar Muthal’s case, the State Government conceded that the issue involved is covered by the decision of Jai Malhar Shikshan Prasarak Mandal’s case.

That being so, since the law laid down in Jai Malhar Shikshan Prasarak Mandal’s case is governing the field and since there is no stay to the said judgment, we adopt similar course as has been done by us in the case of Ravindra Vasantrao Taiwade and others Vs. The State of Maharashtra and others in Writ Petition No. 5525/2025. Accordingly and for the reasons set out in the cases of Jai Malhar Shikshan Prasarak Mandal and Shri Dipak Bhaskar Muthal, writ petition is partly allowed. 5. Government Resolution dated 6-11-2018 is set aside to the extent of petitioners only. 6. As regards payment of salary to the petitioners from 8-4-2025, the respondent no. 3 shall take decision as expeditiously as possible. 7. Writ petition is disposed of in terms of above.
