IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY
RAVINDRA V.GHUGE, Gautam A.Ankhad
Babasaheb Dyanoba Garje – Appellant
Versus
Chaudhary Atar Singh Yadav Memorial Education Trust through its President – Respondent
ORDER :
Ravindra V. Ghuge, J.
1. In all these matters, the individual Petitioners are those employees who had approached the Grievances Committees of the respective Universities, under Section 79 of the MAHARASHTRA PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES ACT , 2016. They are employed in the colleges which are affiliated to such Universities.
2. The common grievance voiced by the Petitioners is that, after the Grievances Committee delivers a verdict under Section 79 , and if such decision is in their favour, two developments/eventualities are observed by these Petitioners. Firstly, the colleges out rightly refuse to implement the directions of the Grievances Committee. Secondly, the Colleges make a statement that they have filed Writ Petitions before the learned Single Judge, and the proceedings are kept pending. Whenever the employee, who is the beneficiary of the order of the Grievances Committee, seeks implementation of the order by sending a representation or making an application to the management, the answer is that the order of the Grievances Committee is sub-judice in a Petition filed before the learned Single Judge of the High Court.
3. In the above backdrop, these Petitioners contend that the
Employees' reliance on Grievance Committee orders necessitates timely compliance by universities under the Maharashtra Public Universities Act; non-implementation results in penalties.
The Grievance Committee's authority is contingent upon valid, approved directions; lapsed directions negate its jurisdiction.

The court emphasized the importance of the Grievance Committee considering and deciding the objection raised by the petitioners regarding the maintainability of the proceedings under the Maharashtra ....
