So far as the challenge to the impugned order dated 26.08.2025, which is on record at page 36 (Annexure P-1) is concerned, the aforesaid order is already challenged by the petitioner before the appellate authority i.e. respondent No.1- the Chairman and Managing Director, Maharashtra State Ware Housing Corporation. The administrative appeal, challenging the impugned order, is on record at page 78 (Annexure P-8).

4.

Since the petitioner has already challenged the aforesaid impugned order dated 26.08.2025, in an administrative appeal before the respondent No.1, the relief as prayed for in the present writ petition cannot be granted. 5.

So far as the challenge to the impugned communication dated 15.09.2025 (Annexure P2) and communication dated 15.12.2025 (Annexure P3) are concerned, the aforesaid communications are consequential to the aforesaid order dated 26.08.2025, which is under challenge before the respondent No.1 in the aforesaid appeal

and hence, the anxiety of the petitioner seeking stay of the aforesaid communication can be addressed by filing an appropriate application for grant of stay to the aforesaid communications dated 15.09.2025 and 15.12.2025. 6.

In view of the above, we grant liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate application for grant of stay to the impugned communication dated 15.09.2025, which is on record at page 43 (Annexure P2) and communication dated 15.12.2025, which is on record at page 44 (Annexure P3) before the respondent No1.
