Mr.A.M.Hajare h/f Mr.A.B.Kale, Advocate for petitioners Mr.K.B.Chaudhari, Addl.G.P. for respondent / State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE : 1st July 2009 PER COURT: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Alleged contempt is due to order dated 07.11.2006, however the contempt petition is filed on 23.04.2008. Thus, on the face of it, the petition is not filed within the period of limitation i.e. within a period of one year. Hence, the contempt petition is barred by limitation, as it is filed beyond the period of one year. Therefore, this Court cannot take cognizance of the alleged contempt. Contempt petition {2} dismissed in liminie as barred by limitation. However, it is made clear that though the petition is dismissed in liminie, yet the petitioner is not precluded from availing appropriate remedy against the order dated 07.11.2006.
