Ganesh Gorkshnath Weljale – Appellant
Versus
State of Maharashtra – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
RAVINDRA V. GHUGE , J.
1. In these cases, the private individual Respondent has been agitating for his personal demands and has threatened the department that he would commence a hunger fast. He orally leveled allegations against the Petitioners. On such allegations, the Deputy Director has suspended the Shalarth-ID of these Petitioners. There is no dispute that their approvals are intact and all of them are in service and discharging their duties.
