Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 15-07-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: The President Yeshwant Rural Education Society Wardha & Ors; Respondents: Milind Kumar & Ors.
- Petitions are Special Leave to Appeal (C) Nos. 21384‑21385/2026 arising from the High Court judgment dated 17-11-2022 in WP No. 3489/2020 and order dated 19-12-2025 in MCA No. 500/2023.
- Multiple interim applications for condonation of delay and exemption from filing were listed.
- Core issues: payment of ₹2 crore to respondents, claim of approximately ₹5 crore subsidy from the State of Maharashtra for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe student fee reimbursement, and the sale of petitioner’s lands and properties directed by the Bombay High Court.
Final Outcome
- The Court noted that a sum of ₹2 crore has been disbursed to the respondents and credited to their respective bank accounts.
- Petitioners assert entitlement to roughly ₹5 crore from the State of Maharashtra as fee reimbursement/subsidy for SC/ST students; together with an estimated ₹5 crore to be recovered from the sale proceeds of the petitioner’s lands, this would cover the tentative outstanding liability of about ₹10 crore payable to the respondents.
- The Bombay High Court, by an order passed the previous day, directed the Charity Commissioner to complete the sale of the petitioner’s lands and properties within three months; the order has not yet been uploaded, and two weeks were sought to place it on record.
- Counsel for the State of Maharashtra, Mr. Shrirang B. Varma, was instructed to obtain further instructions and file a fresh affidavit within two weeks indicating whether any subsidy amount is payable to the petitioner‑institution, the quantum thereof, and the timeframe for release.
- The petitioner is permitted to effect dasti service upon respondent No. 19 within one week and to file an affidavit of proof of service before the next date of hearing.
