- 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO.68 OF 2004 Shri Suresh Raghunath Patil .. Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents -- Shri Ambar Joshi for the petitioner. Shri A.H.Palekar, AGP for the State. -- CORAM : R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR, J DATED : 21st December, 2004. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the petitioner and the learned AGP for the State. 2. The learned AGP has fairly conceded that subsequent to the order dated 10th November, 2003, the respondents had obtained extension of time to submit report and the same was granted. Considering the same, merely because the report was not submitted within the period stipulated under the order dated 10th November, 2003, it cannot be a justification for proceeding against the respondents for contempt of Court. Once this Court has condoned the delay, the question of accusing the respondents for violation of the order does not arise. Hence, the petition is rejected. - 2 - -----
