Alleging deliberate violation of the orders passed by this Court in the writ petition and in the review petition, the present Contempt Petition is filed. This Court while entertaining the writ petition has only directed the authority, RTA, to consider the application of the petitioner for grant of temporary and regular permits as expeditiously as possible. This was further made clear in the order passed by this Court in the review petition. Now on behalf of the respondent a counter affidavit has been filed stating that in pursuance of the order passed by this Court, the authority has considered the application/prayer of the petitioner and issued a notification, which in fact has been now challenged by the petitioner in WP(C) No.17399/09 and is stated to be pending. In view of the statement made by the respondent, we find no merit in the Contempt Case and hence it is closed at this stage. Dismissal of this Contempt Case will not CCC No.700/09 -:2:- come in the way of the petitioner to come again, if situation so warrants. S.R. Bannurmath, Chief Justice. A.K.Basheer, Judge ttb
