Gunaji Bhikaji Masavkar vs The Chairman, Mumbai Port Trust

Case Significance

Gunaji Bhikaji Masavkar vs The Chairman, Mumbai Port Trust is a Bombay High Court decision dated December 22, 2025 (citation: ik-114132659). A Mumbai Port Trust mazdoor challenged a CGIT award dismissing his reference against his 1991 dismissal for theft of film rolls from a dock shed. The petitioner contended that two co-accused received partial relief from the CGIT and argued for parity. The Bombay High Court dismissed the petition, holding that relief granted to colleagues due to lack of evidence in their cases cannot benefit the petitioner when evidence against him was well-supported. The case was heard by Justice Sandeep V. Marne. Counsel appearing: Anjali Kotecha (counsel for respondent), Jaiprakash Sawant (counsel for petitioner), Janhavi Kandekar (counsel for respondent), Vishal Talsania (counsel for respondent).
