Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. This Court has issued notice for final disposal by order dated 14.08.2025. The petitioner is seeking a limited relief in this petition for a direction to respondent No.3 i.e. the Assistant Commissioner, of Fisheries, Osmanabad (now Dharashiv), to decide proposal dated 28.04.2025 submitted by the petitioner in respect of contract of fishing or renewal of contract of fishing for the year 2025-26 to 2029-2030 in respect of Chandani Medium Project, Wakdi, Tq. Paranda, Dist. Dharashiv. 2.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in similar cases, orders have been passed by this Court, directing the concerned authority to take decision on the proposal.

2 942.WP.10121.25.odt 3.

We find that in the present case also the proposal is pending since April 2025 and there is no reason why the proposal should be kept pending without any decision on merits.

In view of the above, the petition is allowed in terms of prayer clause 'B'. The Committee headed by respondent No.2 is directed to take a decision on the proposal within a period of four weeks. 5.

It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the matter.
