1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 507 OF 2006 Anita Babu Kamble ...Petitioner V/s. Union of India & Anr. ...Respondents. Ms. Manisha Virkhare instructed by Mr. Bhavesh Parmar for the Petitioner. CORAM: KSHITIJ R. VYAS, C.J., & S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE: MARCH 3, 2006. P.C.:- 1. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the order passed by this Court dated 5th July, 2005, directing the Appellate Authority to decide the appeal pending before it, preferably within a period of three months from the date of the order, the Appellate Authority has not still decided the appeal. The only direction sought in this petition is to direct respondent No. 1, which is the Appellate Authority, to decide the appeal pending before it. 2 2. It is not disputed before us that respondent No. 1, being the Central Social Welfare Board, is competent to decide the appeal. 3. We could have issued a notice for contempt for taking the order passed by this Court in a casual manner. However, with a view to give one more chance, we direct respondent No. 1 to hear and decide the appeal, as directed by this Court by the order dated 5th July, 2005. The appeal shall be disposed of within four weeks from today. The petitioner shall forthwith communicate this order to the Appellate Authority. Humdast is permitted. 4. The petition is disposed of. CHIEF JUSTICE S.C.DHARMADHIKARI,J.
