The division bench of Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Abhay Ahuja observed that Section 80IB(10) nowhere even remotely aims to deny the benefit of deduction in regard to a residential unit, which otherwise confirms the requirement of size at the cost of an ineligible residential unit with a built-up area of more than 1500 sq. ft.

Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation Citation : 2022 LiveLaw (Bom) 266 The Bombay High Court has dismissed a government bus conductor's appeal against dismissal of service stating, "The approach in this country of believing that when one works for government no action can ever be taken no matter how persistently one is found to be doing wrong is an approach that needs to now stop as fast as possible." The Bench in the current case said that proportionality of punishment must be considered in any case but that doesn't mean that every single infraction be treated leniently.

State of Maharashtra and Ors. Citation : 2022 LiveLaw (Bom) 267 A full bench of the Bombay High Court ruled that a compassionate appointee for a reserved category post wouldn't be exempted from submitting a caste validity certificate especially if the original holder of the post didn't produce a caste certificate during his lifetime.
