The Bombay High Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Ravindra Waikar alleging discriminatory allocation of funds meant for development and infrastructure work in each constituency by the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government.

A division bench of Justices S B Shukre and Rajesh Patil noted that the allocation of funds to MLAs for their constituencies was a state policy, and there cannot be a judicial review of the same in the absence of sufficient material to prove discrimination or lack of transparency.
