1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.5642 OF 1997 WITH W.P.NO.5647 OF 1997. _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | _______________________|_______________________________________ CORAM : B.R.GAVAI AND : S.V.GANGAPURWALA,JJ. Date : 27.07.2010. 1. In both these matters, we were compelled to summon the presence of Vice Chairmen of the Caste Scrutiny Committee at Aurangabad and Nandurbar, since it was brought to our notice that inspite of various efforts taken by the learned counsel for the Committee, he had not received instructions. 2. When the Officers of the quasi judicial authority like the Caste Scrutiny Committee are issued notices by this Court or when the instructions are sought by the Standing Counsel, it is their bounden duty to give proper instructions to the Standing Counsel, so as to effectively assist the Court in administration of justice. 3. It is only on account of inordinate delay in giving instructions to the Standing Counsel, this Court is required to adjourn the matters from date to date, thereby delaying the justice to the ultimate consumer of justice. 4. In response to the notice Mr.A.S.Gunjal and Mr.S.P.Karve, who are presently working as Vice Chairmen of the Aurangabad Committee and Nandurbar Committee are personally present in the Court. Both the Officers assure the Court that hereinafter steps would be taken to ensure that there is no delay in giving instructions to the Standing Counsel. 5. We accept the statement of both the Officers and discharge their presence. However, we make it clear that in future, if we find that the Officers are not responding to either notices issued by this Court or the communication of the Standing Counsel, we will be constrained to take serious action.
