1 srk IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY Appellate Side Civil Application No.2387 of 2005 In Civil Writ Petition No.5952 of 2002 The District Civil Supply Officer, Satara & ors. Applicants Vs. Parvanadharak Rockel (Kerosene) Vikretyachi Sanghatana, Karad Respondent Mr.A.H.Palekar, `A” Panel Advocate with Mr.S.D.Rayrikar, AGP for applicants. Ms.Gauri Godse for respondents. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & SMT.ROSHAN S. DALVI,JJ. September 18, 2009. P.C. 1. Heard Mr.Palekar, the learned AGP and Ms.Godse, the learned counsel for the respondents. By this application the State Government is praying for setting aside the interim order passed by this Court 18/6/2004 in Writ Petition No.5952 of 2002. 2. The present respondents had approached this Court at 2 the first instance in Writ Petition No.4932 of 2000 and by the order dated 18/12/2000 the petition was partly allowed by directing the present applicants to restore the kerosene quota of the petitioners to the position as existed on 2nd May 2000 with immediate effect. The said order was not implemented and, therefore, the respondents filed Contempt Petition No.384 of 2001 which was rejected on 26/11/2001. However, the learned Single Judge observed that the rights of the petitioner for specific quota pertaining to the ration cards would not disentitle the petitioner to seek appropriate remedy even though the contempt petition was rejected. The State Government filed Review Petition No. 36 of 2003 in Writ Petition No.4932 of 2000 and it was dismissed on 18/6/2004 with a further direction to the State Government to implement the order dated 18/12/2000 passed in Writ Petition No.4932 of 2000. Despite this second order the State Government did not implement the order dated 18/12/2000 and, therefore Contempt Petition No.8 of 2005 has been filed by the respondents and the same is still pending because by the interim order passed in this Civil Application the proceedings therein have been stayed. On 18/6/2004 while granting Rule in Writ Petition No.5952 of 2002 this Court ordered interim relief in 3 terms of prayer clause (b) which reads as under: (b) Pending the hearing and final disposal of this Writ Petition, the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 be directed to make available additional number of Ration Cards to each Petitioner equivalent to number of Ration Cards which were cancelled in the year 2001 as shown in Chart at Exhibit 6 annexed to Affidavit-in-Reply filed by the Respondent No.2 in the Contempt Petition No. 384 of 2001. This interim relief was reiteration of the earlier orders passed in Writ Petition No.4932 of 2000. The State has not acted as yet to implement the order of interim relief and purportedly on the ground that consequent to the order passed on 18/6/2004, the Tahsildar concerned passed an order which has been challenged before the State Government by filing a Revision Application by the Retail Fair-price Shop owners. 3. Having regard to the fact that repeated orders passed by this Court for the last about nine years have not been implemented by the State Government, there is no case to entertain this application and it is clear that the applicants despite repeated orders having been passed do not show any 4 inclination to implement the orders passed by this Court and in any case the order sought to be vacated has been passed after hearing the learned Government Pleader. 4. Hence the application is rejected. Interim order passed in this application on 29th September 2005 stands vacated. 5. Writ Petition No.5952 of 2002 to proceed for hearing in due course.
