1 7-ra-147-2026 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD REVIEW APPLICATION (CIVIL) NO. 147 OF 2026 IN WP/2982/2014 Advocate Gajanan Shriram Bedre VERSUS The State Of Maharashtra Thr Its Secretary And Another ... Mr. V. D. Salunke, Advocate for Applicant Mr. R. S. Wani, AGP for Respondent-State ….. CORAM : KISHORE C. SANT & AJIT B. KADETHANKAR, JJ. DATED : 31ST AUGUST, 2026 P.C. :- . Heard learned Advocate for the applicant and learned AGP for respondent-State. 2. The Review Application is filed seeking review of the order passed by this Court dated 01.07.2026 in Writ Petition No.2982 of 2014 whereby this Court dismissed the petition in view of the judgment cited before this Court i.e. The State of Maharashtra and Others Vs. Anita and Another, (2016) 8 SC 293. 3. Learned Advocate for the applicant submits that when the petition was disposed of, the circular dated 09.02.2018 and the subsequent circular dated 07.03.2018 were not brought to the notice 2026:BHC-AUG:39732-DB 2 7-ra-147-2026 of this Court. He submits that by the circular dated 07.03.2018, the Government decided to consider the cases for continuation of Law Officers who were appointed on contract basis, and the circular dated 09.02.2018 was stayed by the subsequent circular. 4. He also relies upon the judgment in Writ Petition No.5831 of 2018 (Nagpur) dated 04.06.2019. He fairly accepts that in the said judgment, the case of Anita supra was not considered. He further submits that however, this Court had considered circulars dated 07.03.2018 and 09.02.2018. The circular dated 09.02.2018 was specifically issued in view of the judgment in the case of Anita supra. He thus submits that these vital facts were not brought to the notice of this Court. He further submits that since the petition is dismissed, now the Government will not consider the claim of the petitioner, though there is a policy of the government to review its policy decision. 5. Learned AGP however opposes the application. He submits that this Court has already considered all the aspects in the matter. No ground for review is made out. 6. Considering the scope of a Review Application, this Court does not find that the application meets the parameters of Section 114 of 3 7-ra-147-2026 the Civil Procedure Code. However, considering the fact that the judgment of this Court may come in the way of the Government and the applicant while considering the case of continuation, it is clarified that it is open for the Government to consider the case of applicant and the cases of persons like applicant in view of circular dated 07.03.2018. 7. With this clarification, Review Application stands disposed of. [AJIT B. KADETHANKAR, J] [KISHORE C. SANT, J.] Rushikesh/2026
