Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 31-07-2026
Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 24828/2026 filed by Warsha, a student, against the Chairman, Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) & ANR.
- The SLP arises from the High Court of Judicature at Bombay at Nagpur’s final judgment and order dated 29‑04‑2026 in Writ Petition No. 3317/2026.
- The High Court had dismissed the writ petition and imposed costs of Rs 21,000 to be deposited in the “Public Welfare Account” with Union Bank of India, Nagpur, with recovery provisions for non‑payment.
- The Supreme Court heard counsel for both sides on 31‑07‑2026, noted that while the petition lacked merit, imposing costs on a student petitioner was unwarranted.
Final Outcome
- Paragraph 4 of the impugned order imposing Rs 21,000 costs is set aside.
- Writ Petition No. 3317/2026 remains dismissed.
- The Special Leave Petition is disposed of.
- Any pending applications, if any, are ordered to stand disposed of.
