                      P.C. :

1. Preliminary objection to the maintainability of this writ petition is raised at the outset by Dr. Sathe, learned senior advocate for the respondent no. 2. According to him, since a service dispute has been raised by the petitioner, no public interest litigation would be maintainable. He has relied on several judgments in support of his contention.

2. Mr. Kulkarni, learned advocate for the petitioner submits that he requires time to consider the said judgments and has, accordingly, prayed for an adjournment.

22.pil.2-22

3. List the writ petition on Monday next (June 13, 2022).
