*1* 905 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD 905 WRIT PETITION NO. 10975 OF 2026 Sayyad Aprin Ayub VERSUS The State Of Maharashtra And Others ... Mr. Mrigesh D. Narwadkar, Advocate for the Petitioner Mr. B. B. Bhise, AGP for Respondents/State ... CORAM : NITIN B. SURYAWANSHI & ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 27th AUGUST 2026 P. C. :- 1. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking direction to Respondent No.3 to grant educational leave to the petitioner to pursue higher education i.e. M. Sc. (Nursing) Course, the duration of which is from 2026-2028. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that all the necessary permissions for pursuing the higher studies have been granted by Respondent No.3, the Dean, and accordingly, the petitioner has taken admission for the higher studies at S. M. B. T. Institute of Nursing. However, the application of the petitioner dated 31.07.2026, seeking leave is yet not decided by Respondent No.3. 3. We are of the view that since all the no-objections are Narwade *2* 905 already granted by Respondent No.3 and as the petitioner has already taken admission, there should be no impediment to Respondent No.3 to grant the leave application of the petitioner. 4. In the light of the above, we dispose of the writ petition by directing Respondent No.3-the Dean to take decision on the leave application of the petitioner dated 31.07.2026 within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
