In Brief
This is a civil appeal concerning a dispute between Rajesh and the State of Maharashtra. The bench of two judges dismissed the appeal, noting that the substantive legal reasoning was already provided in a companion judgment in Civil Appeal No. 5444 of 2019, where Vishal Ashok Thorat and others were pitted against Rajesh Shrirambapu Fate and others. The court referred parties to that judgment for the detailed rationale supporting the dismissal of this appeal.
