Per Court :-
1. We have permitted the learned Advocates to make
their submissions, for a long time. Considering the conspectus of
the matter, it appears that though most of the Petitioners are
aggrieved by the impugned judgment of the learned Tribunal and
the Maharashtra Public Service Commission also contemplates
filing of a Writ Petition in near future for challenging the
judgment of the Tribunal, a final hearing in these matters seems
to be imperative.
2. Issue notice to the Respondents in Writ Petition
No.8033/2024 and Writ Petition No.8083/2024. In Writ Petition
No.8033/2024, notice to Respondent Nos.3 to 17, shall be served
on the said candidates through the MPSC. If these candidates are
not served, final hearing will not commence. The learned AGP
waives service of notice on behalf of Respondent No.1/State in
both these petitions. The learned Advocate Shri Mukul Kulkarni
waives service of notice on behalf of Respondent No.2/MPSC in
both these petitions.
3. List these matters on 14.08.2024. If the hearing is
*4* 926a927a1wp8033o24 APP group
not concluded and time permits, it would spill over to
16.08.2024.
4. In the meanwhile, we would expect the learned
Advocate for the MPSC to convey that the MPSC would make
an assessment of the impugned directions of the learned Tribunal
in the nature of re-casting of the list, which shall be kept in a
sealed cover. If we need to see it after opening final arguments in
the matters, we would accordingly, make an observation and call
upon the learned Advocate to handover the sealed cover to the
Court.
5. Status-quo granted earlier to continue.
