Notable Judgments by Justice A.S. Chandurkar<\/p>\n

Dress code prescribed by Chembur Trombay Education Society restricting wearing of hijab, does not violate Fundamental Rights: Bombay HC<\/a><\/p>\n

In Zainab Abdul Qayyum Choudhary v. Chembur Trombay Education Society\u2019s N.G. Acharya and D.K. Marathe College of Art, Science and Commerce<\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Bom 1925<\/a>, nine girl students (\u2018petitioners\u2019) of the respondent College (\u2018College\u2019) challenged the dress code instructions issued by the College for all its students that restricted the donning of articles revealing anyone\u2019s religion, including hijab and niqab claiming them to be violative of the fundamental rights enshrined under Articles 19(1)(a) and 25 of the Constitution<\/a>. The Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Rajesh S. Patil, JJ., held that the instructions were issued to maintain discipline and ensure that the students do not reveal their religious faith through their attire<\/span>. The Court further pointed out that the petitioners did not present sufficient material to prove that donning a hijab or niqab is an essential practice in Islam<\/span>, and that the fundamental right of establishing and administering an educational institution would prevail over the fundamental right of an individual<\/span>, since the former is in the larger interest.<\/p>\n

Bombay High Court strikes down IT Rules Amendment 2023; Major setback for Fact-Check Units<\/a><\/p>\n

In Kunal Kamra v. Union of India<\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Bom 3025<\/a>, a case filed challenging Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Amendment Rules, 2023<\/a>, i.e., Rule 3, which empowered the government to establish Fact-Check Units (FCUs) to identify false news against the government on the grounds that it violated constitutional rights and amounted to state censorship. The Bench of GS Patel and Neela Gokhale, JJ., had delivered a split verdict<\/a>. Justice A.S. Chandurkar was appointed as the tie-breaker judge. A.S. Chandurkar, J<\/span>., concurring with the opinion of GS Patel, J., held that the amendments were unconstitutional as they infringed on Articles 14 and 19 of the Constitution<\/a>, striking down the contested provisions.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026under the right to freedom\u00a0of speech and expression, there is no further \u2018right to the truth\u2019 nor is it the responsibility\u00a0of\u00a0the State to ensure that the citizens are entitled only to \u2018information\u2019 that was not fake or false or misleading as identified by the FCU.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bombay HC upholds validity of Rule 4(1)(a) of Maharashtra Land Revenue (Transfer of Occupancy by Tribals to Non-Tribals) Rules, 1975<\/a><\/p>\n

In Mahendarsingh Digvijaysingh Mukne v. State of Maharashtra<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Bom 2142<\/a> wherein, the petitioner filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution<\/a>, challenging the validity of Rule 4(1)(a) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue (Transfer of Occupancy by Tribals to Non-Tribals) Rules, 1975 (\u2018the 1975 Rules\u2019), the Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Rajesh S. Patil, JJ., opined that the restriction placed on grant of sanction to the transfer of occupancy by way of sale in favour of non-tribal only when the transferee intended to use it for non-agricultural purposes was legally justifiable as the object behind the same was to prevent non-tribals from accumulating agricultural lands of tribals which could result in future exploitation of tribals and requiring them to undertake agricultural operations on the very lands of which they were owners.<\/p>\n

The Court opined that in absence of any bar for a tribal to transfer his occupancy in favour of another tribal who could continue to use such land for agricultural purpose, such restriction on the transfer in favour of a non-tribal by way of sale if the land was to be used for agricultural purpose did not suffer from the vice of classification and thus, the challenge to Rule 4(1)(a)(i) could not be accepted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividual hardship by itself cannot be a ground to hold a provision to be invalid or unworkable especially in the light of the fact that such provision has been enacted keeping in mind the Directive Principles under Article 46 of the Constitution of India for the larger good and welfare of tribals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bombay HC sets aside expulsion order for sexual misconduct by MNLU student; Cites procedural violations in disciplinary proceedings<\/p>\n

In Maharashtra National Law University Mumbai<\/span> v. X<\/span>8<\/sup><\/a>, the Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Justice Rajesh S. Patil, JJ., set aside the expulsion of a law student from Maharashtra National Law University (\u2018MNLU\u2019) for sexual misconduct<\/span>. The Court\u2019s decision primarily hinged on serious procedural violations committed by the university during the disciplinary process, specifically the failure to adhere to the mandatory safeguards stipulated under the University Grants Commission (\u2018UGC\u2019) Regulations, 2015. While acknowledging the gravity of the student\u2019s misconduct, the Court emphasized the necessity of procedural fairness and suggested that a more reformative approach to punishment could have been considered.<\/p>\n

Principles of natural justice to be read into S.8 of Goa Tourist Places (Protection and Maintenance) Act, 2001 prior to directing recovery of expenses\/costs incurred to remove nuisance: Bombay HC<\/a><\/p>\n

In Salgaocar Mining Industries (P) Ltd.<\/span> v. State of Goa<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Bom 662<\/a>, a writ petition was filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution<\/a> wherein the issue raised was whether the principles of natural justice were required to be complied with prior to directing recovery of the amount of expenses and costs incurred by the competent authority in removing any nuisance under Section 8 of the Goa Tourist Places (Protection and Maintenance) Act, 2001<\/a> (\u2018the 2001 Act\u2019). The Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Nivedita P. Mehta, JJ., held that even if there was no mention whatsoever of the requirement of complying with the principles of natural justice under Section 8 of the 2001 Act<\/a>, the same must be read into the said provision<\/span> to ensure compliance of the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness. Therefore, it could not be held that the principles of natural justice stood excluded even by implication. The Court set aside, orders which were passed by the Competent authority without giving the petitioners a chance to be heard.<\/p>\n

\u2018Not in excess of permissible 25% quota\u2019; Bombay HC dismisses plea challenging Nomination in recruitment process of District Judges<\/a><\/p>\n

In Maharashtra State Judges Association<\/span> v. State of Maharashtra<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Bom 109<\/a>, petitioner-Maharashtra State Judges Association, an Association comprising members of judicial service in the State of Maharashtra, sought to raise a challenge to the recruitment process of District Judges through Nomination and challenged the advertisement dated 30-09-2023 regarding the selection process for the year 2022 and the advertisement dated 09-01-2024 regarding selection process for the year 2023. The Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Rajesh S. Patil, JJ., dismissed the petition and held that the attempt to fill in the 25% posts through Nomination was not in excess of 25% quota, that is, what was permissible under the<\/span> Maharashtra Judicial Service Rules, 2008<\/a> (\u2018the 2008 Rules\u2019).<\/p>\n

Bombay HC refuses to permit AIR 10 candidate seeking participation in admission process at IISC, Bangalore, due to delayed application<\/a><\/p>\n

In Siddhant Mahesh Rane<\/span> v. Indian Institute of Science<\/span><\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Bom 2242<\/a>, in a petition before the Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar and Rajesh S. Patil, JJ., the petitioner sought the grant of permission to participate in the admission process for the Bachelor of Science-Research (\u201cB.Sc.-R\u201d) programme starting in 2024, at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (\u201cIISC\u201d). The candidates were required to submit their online applications by 14-05-2024, however, the petitioner submitted his application on 09-06-2024. The petitioner contended that he should be permitted to participate in the admission process based on the All-India Rank (\u201cAIR\u201d) 10 that he had secured in the IISER Aptitude Test 2024 (\u201centrance test\u201d). The Court stated that the grant of such relief would be an injustice to the other applicants who were similarly situated<\/span> as the petitioner and who could not submit their applications in time as well. Therefore, no relief was granted by the Court and the petition was dismissed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bombay High Court dismisses plea challenging its \u201cRules for Presentation and Conduct of Proceedings in Person by Parties\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

In Naresh Govind Vaze<\/span> v. High Court of Bombay<\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Bom 1266<\/a>, petitioner, a Law Graduate and a former Judicial Officer, raised a challenge to the Notification dated 9-9-2015 notifying the \u201cRules for Presentation and Conduct of Proceedings in Person by Parties\u201d (\u2018the Rules\u2019) on the ground that the Rules prevent a party-in-person from appearing before the Court and arguing his\/her case in person. The Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Jitendra Jain, JJ., held that the bar was not absolute, and the Rules were merely regulatory in nature. The Court opined that the Rules were not prohibitive to offend the provisions of Articles 14 and 19(1)(a) of the Constitution<\/a>, and the Rules were framed to enable the presentation and conduct of proceedings by a party in person smoothly to facilitate the administration of justice. The Court held that the Notification dated 9-9-2015 did not deserve to be quashed on the grounds urged by the petitioner.<\/p>\n

\u2018Will facilitate receipt of legal tender\u2019; Bombay HC directs RBI to accept demonetized bank notes worth Rs 20 lakhs seized before deposit deadline<\/a><\/p>\n

In Ramesh Bapurao Potdar<\/span> v. Union of India<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Bom 575<\/a>, wherein the bank notes of denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 were seized from the petitioners on 26-12-2016, before they could deposit the said demonetized bank notes in the bank before the deadline, that is, 30-12-2016, the Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and M.M. Sathaye, JJ., opined that the petitioners could be permitted to deposit the specified bank notes for the value of Rs 20,00,000 bearing the said serial numbers with Respondent 4, as this would facilitate receipt of legal tender for the said value by the petitioners.<\/p>\n

Bombay High Court upholds validity of the Textile Undertakings (Nationalisation) Laws (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2014<\/a><\/p>\n

In Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Pvt. Ltd.<\/span> v. Union of India<\/span>, 2024 SCC OnLine Bom 1619<\/a>, writ petition was filed under Article 226 of the Constitution<\/a> challenging the constitutional validity of the Textile Undertakings (Nationalisation) Laws (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2014<\/a> (\u2018the 2014 Act\u2019). It was also prayed that the Sick Textile Undertakings (Nationalisation) Act, 1974<\/a> (\u2018the 1974 Act\u2019) and the Sick Textile Undertakings (Nationalisation) Act, 1995 (\u2018the 1995 Act\u2019) as amended, be struck down as being invalid and violative of the provisions of the Constitution. The Division Bench of A.S. Chandurkar*<\/span> and Jitendra Jain, JJ., held that the challenge to the 2014 Act as being manifestly arbitrary, transgressing the dividing line of separation of powers and seeking to nullify the decision of the Supreme Court in National Textile Corpn. Ltd.<\/span> v. Nareshkumar Badrikumar Jagad<\/span>, (2011) 12 SCC 695<\/a> (\u2018Nareshkumar-I Case\u2019) could not succeed. Further, the Court held that the 2014 Act did not suffer from manifest arbitrariness nor was it violative of Article 14 of the Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a strong presumption attached to the constitutionality of a plenary legislation. While considering challenge to the vires of a plenary legislation, the Court would be required to be conscious of the presumption of constitutionality attached to such legislation. This presumption proceeds on the basis that legislature is best suited to understand and address societal needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patil, JJ., in the interest of justice, allowed the petitioner, identified as a bright student, to appear in the upcoming examination<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In Jayaswal Ashoka Infrastructure (P) Ltd. v.

A Single Judge Bench of A.S. Chandurkar, J*.<\/span>, upheld the trial court\u2019s decision, clarifying that such an agreement, typically void under Section 23 of the Contract Act, 1872<\/a> when entered into by an advocate, is valid and enforceable when the individual acts solely as a \u201ccounsel\u201d in arbitration and not as a registered \u201cadvocate\u201d.<\/p>\n

Amendment in the Maharashtra Village Panchayats Taxes and Fees Rules, 1960 is unconstitutional<\/a><\/p>\n

Bombay High Court | Right to reproductive choice: Minor sexual assault victim lodged in observation home for murder allowed to terminate pregnancy<\/a><\/p>\n
