Registrar's orders. Mr. Airesh Rodrigues, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. A.N.S. Nadkarni, Advocate General with Mr. H.D. Naik, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the Respondent. CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE, J. DATE : JANUARY 13, 2005. P.C. Heard Mr. Rodrigues for the petitioner and Mr. A.N.S. Nadkarni, learned Advocate General with Mr. H.D. Naik, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the respondent. Mr. Naik waives notice on behalf of the respondent. 2. By this petition, the petitioner prays that the contempt proceedings be initiated against the respondent for willfully disobeying the order of this 2 Court dated 16.9.2004, on the ground that the respondent has not filed the Charge- sheet in terms of the statement made by her, which had been accepted by the learned Judge in the order dated 16.9.2004, in Criminal Writ Petition No.55/2004. The respondent herein had filed a reply stating that the Charge- sheet in the matter would be filed, shortly. The statement made by the respondent was accepted and relying upon the statement, the petition was dismissed by this Court vide Order dated 16.9.2004. 3. Mr. Rodrigues, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the respondent has willfully disobeyed the Order dated 16.9.2004 by not filing the Charge- sheet, as stated by her in her reply, which statement was accepted by this Court while passing the Order dated 16.9.2004. It is to be noted that the order which is 3 alleged to have been disobeyed, was passed on 16.9.2004 and the present petition was filed on 20.10.2004. The petitioner has rushed to this Court invoking contempt jurisdiction against the respondent. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case in which this Court should initiate contempt proceedings against the respondent at this stage. In the result, the petition is, summarily, rejected. A.P. LAVANDE, J. ssm.
