CORAM : RAVINDRA V. GHUGE & ASHWIN D. BHOBE, JJ.

DATE : 14th FEBRUARY, 2025 P.C. :- 1.

We have extensively heard the submissions of the learned Senior Advocate Mr. Vinayak Hon, with Mr. Suraj Gadkari and Vignesh Ashokan, for the Petitioner and the learned Advocate Mr. Gavand, on behalf of the Corporation. The oral submissions have been concluded.

2.

We have three queries on which the learned Advocate Mr. Gavand would take instructions in due consultation with the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation. These three queries are as under:

Nikita

4-wp-19518-2024.odt a) Whether the Corporation is accepting the candidature of those Applicants whose LLB qualifications are two years LLB General Graduate.

b) Whether the Corporation is uniformly sticking to the acceptance of the applications only if the candidate has passed the three years or five years LLB course.

c) The extension of the cut-off date for making application, which earlier was 17th July, 2023, was extended to 15th September, 2023. The Mumbai University declared its LLB results on 30th August, 2023, thereby giving advantage to the students who had time between 31st August, 2023 to 15th September, 2023 to file their applications, on the basis of such results. In which case, whether this advantage can be given to the present Petitioner?

3.

Since the learned Senior Advocate for the Petitioner has a personal difficulty, on his request, we are placing this Writ Petition at 2.30 P.M. on 24th February 2025.
