A petition was filed on Monday in the Bombay High Court challenging the decision of the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government to stay circulars relating to appointments and developmental projects taken up by the earlier Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

The petition filed by five persons, some of whom are former Indian Administrative Service officers and social workers, said the present government led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had issued four resolutions cancelling orders passed by the previous MVA government.
