P.M. Shah, Senior Counsel assisted by N.B. Suryawashi, Advocate for petitioner. Shri. V.G. Shelke, A.G.P. for respondents. CORAM: R.K. DESHPANDE, J. DATED: 12th August, 2010. P.C.: 1. Heard Shri. Shah, the learned Senior Counsel assisted by Shri. N.B. Suryawanshi. In Writ Petition No. 5423/2006 the Division Bench of this Court had passed an order on 14th of September 2006, which is reproduced below :- " Heard Mr. P.M. Shah, learned Senior Counsel with Shri. P.R. Patil on behalf of the petitioners. Despite the order of this Court dated 22nd August 2006 issuing notices to the respondents, no affidavit in reply has been filed on behalf of the respondents. Mr. V.B. Ghadge, learned A.G.P. requests for grant of four weeks time for filing affidavit in reply. 2. We are informed at bar by the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners that the hearing on the question of acceptance of the recommendations of the One Man Committee by the Government is fixed on 15th September 2006. Meanwhile, since no reply has been filed on behalf of the respondents, we are constrained to direct the Government not to take any final decision in pursuance to the hearing which may be held after hearing the petitioners, for a period of four weeks for enabling the Government to file its affidavit in reply. 3. The Government may hear the petitioners as per its convenience. We clarify that the hearing may proceed but no orders be passed in respect the recommendations of the One Man Committee report pursuant to the hearing which may be held. S.O. four weeks. 4. Copy duly authenticated by Sheristedar of this Court be supplied to the parties to act upon. " 2 2. Shri. Shah, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this writ petition is still pending and the interim order dated 14th of September 2006 has neither been modified nor been vacated and still operates. By the said order, according to him, it was clarified that the hearing may proceed, but no orders be passed in respect of acceptance or otherwise of the recommendations of One Man Committee Report pursuant to the hearing which may be held. It is pointed out that on earlier occasion the recommendations of One Man Committee were sought to be implemented by communication dated 18th of August 2008. In Writ Petition No. 5175/2008, filed by the petitioner, a statement was made that no action has been taken on the basis of the letter dated August 18, 2008. The petition was, therefore, disposed of. Again on 18th of May 2010 the recommendations of One Man Committee of Shri. Sudhakar Joshi are sought to be implemented. The complaint is, therefore, that the issuance of communication dated 18th of May 2010 is wilfull disobedience/breach of the directions contained in para 3 of the order dated 14th September 2006. 3. In view of this, issue notice to respondent Nos. 3, who has issued the above communication, returnable after four weeks. [R.K. DESHPANDE, J.] ssc/cp217.10
