[1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CONTEMPT PETITION NO.111 OF 1998 Sanjay Bhalchandra Umbrajkar .... Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .... Respondents Ms S.S. Deshpande for the Petitioner. CORAM: CORAM: CORAM: R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR, J. DATED: DATED: DATED: NOVEMBER 30, 2004 P.C: P.C: P.C: The grievance of the petitioner relates to disobedience of the order of this Court passed on 17-4-1998 in Writ Petition No.1944 of 1998. By the said order, ex parte ad-interim relief was granted in the nature of restraining the respondents from terminating the services of the petitioner. The petitioner, however, was served with the termination order dated 13-4-1998. The order of 17-4-1998 was sought to be communicated to the respondents some time after 17-4-1998. Obviously the order of termination was passed not only prior to the passing of the order dated 17-4-1998 by this Court but much prior to the service of the said order upon the respondents. Being so, the issuance of the order dated 13-4-1998 cannot be said to be in violation of the order dated 17-4-1998. On that count itself, there is no case for proceeding against [2] the respondents for contempt of Court. Hence the petition is dismissed. Notice stands discharged. ------
