Mgn IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.5693 OF 2009 Ashland India Private Limited ..Petitioners Vs. The Union of India & Ors. ..Respondents Mr. Prakash Shah with Mr. Jas Sanghavi i/b. PDS Legal for the petitioners. Mr. A.S. Rao, for the Respondents. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 8th JULY, 2009 P.C. The cause of action based on which the petition is filed no longer subsists. However, on behalf of the petitioners, it is submitted that during the pendency of the petition they have brought in two other consignments. The earlier consignment was provisionally released by asking 1% revenue deposit. The Appellants are already in appeal against that order. There is an application for stay pending before the Appellate Authority and as per the law laid down by this Court till such application is decided the order of status quo should be maintained. We do not propose to go into the controversy. We, however, make it clear that if there are judgments of this Court all Authorities exercising the powers whether administrative or quasi judicial are bound to follow the judgment if their attention is invited and they are unaware of the same, failing which they will be liable for contempt action. It will be open to the petitioner to bring this to the attention of the concerned authorities. With the above observation petition disposed off. It is, however, always open to the petitioners to approach the authorities for provisional release. (J.H. BHATIA,J.) (F.I. REBELLO,J.)
