cp25.10.odt 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Contempt Petition No. 25/2010 in Writ Petition No. 3423/2009 (D) (Vinay Kumar Rakesh Tripathi ..versus.. The Regional Director and another. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Mr. R.K.Thakkar, Advocate for the Petitioner Mr. C.S.Kaptan, Advocate , for Respondent no.1 Coram: R. K. Deshpande, J. Date : 19 th April, 2010 This contempt petition complains about the willful disobedience of the judgment and order dated 25th November, 2009, passed by the Division Bench of this Court in W.P. No. 3423/2009. By the said order, a direction was issued to the respondent no.2 NCTE to clarify whether respondent no.4 college was recognized for academic session 2006-07 and to forward the communication to that effect to the respondent no.4 College within a period of three weeks from the date of the order. The complaint is that no communication has been forwarded in respect of the compliance within a period of three weeks as provided by the order dated 25.11.2009, The affidavit has been filed by Respondent no.1 – Regional Director, NCTE, Bhopal. Along with the affidavit, order dated 26.3.2010 has been place don record. It is not disputed that this is in full compliance of the order passed by this Court. However, the question remains as to cp25.10.odt 2 whether there was a willful disobedience of the order passed by this Court, particularly when the decision has not been communicated within a period of three weeks and the decision has been taken after filing of the contempt petition. The Respondent no.1 has tendered an unconditional apology, which is stated in the affidavit. In view of this, I do not find any reason to proceed with the contempt petition. The contempt proceedings are, therefore, dropped. JUDGE Rvjalit
