ORAL JUDGMENT [ PER NARESH H. PATIL, J.] : 1. This petition challenges an order dated 22.03.2001 in O. A. No. 819 of 2000 passed by Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal. Learned counsel Shri Tambe submits that the observation made by the Tribunal on the order dated 22.03.2001 in paragraph 26 relating to the conduct of the Charity Commissioner are harsh. The Tribunal had directed that the conduct of the Charity Commissioner as a Judicial Officer be brought to the notice of the Hon'ble Chief Justice, so as to take appropriate action against the Charity Commissioner. 2. As regards the matter on merit, we find that the impunged order is dated 22.03.2001. There are subsequent developments in the matter which have been brought to the notice of this Court. In the light of subsequent developments, we do not find that this petition is required to be considered now on merits. 3 3. As regards the observations made by the Administrative Tribunal concerning the conduct of the Charity Commissioner in para 26 of the order, we do not find that any strictures are passed against the Charity Commissioner. The observations of the Tribunal are to the effect that the conduct of the Charity Commissioner be brought to the notice of the Hon'ble Chief Justice. We therefore, are not inclined to interfere with the observations made by the Tribunal in this regard. Petition is therefore disposed of accordingly. Rule discharged. [N. D. DESHPANDE, J.] [NARESH H.
