CORAM : S.V. GANGAPURWALA AND R.G. AVACHAT, JJ.
DATED : 26th OCTOBER, 2018 ORDER :
It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the respective parties that in a matter filed by similarly situated Sanstha, this Court had issued following directions :- "It is not in dispute that the concerned Department by making budgetary provision after issuing Government Resolution has disbursed substantial amount in favour of some of the institutions similarly situated like the petitioners. It, prima facie, appears that there is some difference of opinion between the concerned Department i.e. Department of Woman and 1 / 3
Child Development on one hand and the Departments of Planning and Finance on the other about disbursement of the amounts claimed. It is an internal matter of the State Government and all the concerned in the process will have to resolve the same at their level.
Therefore, we are of the opinion that the ends of justice would be met in case the Chief Secretary, Government of Maharashtra is directed to look into the subject matter of these writ petitions and direct the concerned departments to ensure the disbursement of amounts as per the entitlement of the petitioners, after verifying the original record maintained by the concerned respondent authorities, who have issued the assessment orders in favour of the petitioners and also similarly situated institutions throughout the State, and if necessary, also by verifying the record maintained by the petitioners - institutions, as expeditiously as possible, and preferably within 10 weeks from today, and those institutions who are found eligible as per government policy then prevailing, the amounts should be disbursed to them within two weeks thereafter.
However, the entire exercise should be done within 12 weeks from today.
and Child Development, Planning and Finance Department and the Chief Secretary, Government of Maharashtra would be jointly responsible for implementation of the directions issued hereinabove."

Present Writ Petition also stands disposed of in the light of the aforesaid observations and directions issued in Writ Petition no. 11239 of 2015. No costs.
