In Brief
This civil appeal by Rajesh Shrirambapu Fate against the State of Maharashtra was dismissed by a two-judge bench comprising Justice Ashok Bhushan. The court's decision was based entirely on the reasoning contained in a companion judgment delivered the same date in Civil Appeal No. 5444 of 2019 (Vishal Ashok Thorat and others v. Rajesh Shrirambapu Fate & Others). No independent reasons were articulated in this brief order, referring instead to the detailed judgment in the related appeal.
