Shri VG Tamaskar, counsei for the petitioner. ORAL ORDER (Passed on 12m April, 2007) The complainant was one of the petitioners in Writ Petition No.1781 of 2003 and conneoted matters. In the said vvrit petition, the main prayer that «,..:; \"as sought for by the petitioner and others was to consider their cases for regularization. This Court placing reliance on the Circular/lnstruction issued by the State Government from time to time, had directed the State Government and other respondents to consider the cases of the petitioner and others for regularization of their servioes in accordance wifh law and in terms of Circular dated 09.01.1999. This order was made by this Court on 19.04.2006. • ! (2) One Shri.Arun; :Vastar!<ar,j.beiFig aggrieved ^by, tlie orders passed bythis Coyrt inittte afQresaic!writ:|)etition, had;flled S.L.P. before •fhe 11 d-t- ^ 11; i^ Apex Court in Civil Case No. CC 6015/2006. The Supreme Court by its order dated 18.8.2006 had issued notice to the respondent and had granted interim order staying the order passed by this Court In Writ Petition No. 1781/2003 and conneoted matters. (3) On tlfe request made by the petitioner in S.L.P., the Supreme Court had permitted him to withdraw the S.L.P. The order v/as passed by the Supreme Court is dated 22.02.2007. (4) Now the petitioner is before this Court, inter alia alteging that the respondents have not complied with the orders and directions issued by this Court in Writ Petition No.1781 of 2003 and connected mattere and thereby they have deliberateiy disobeyed the orders and directions issued by this Court. (5) Shri Tamaskar, learned counsel for the petitioner, vehemently contends before this Court that the respondents are de!iberately disobeying the orders and directions issued by this Court in Writ Petition No.1781 of 2003 and, t'nerefore, requests this Court to initiate the contempt proceedings against the respondents. In support of his contention, he also brought to the notice of this Court the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Prithawi Nath Ram Vs. State of Jharkhand and Others reported in (2004) 7 SCC 261. (6) tmmediately after the disposal of the v/rit petition and | connected matters, one Shri Arun Vastrakar had filed S.L.P. before the: Supreme Court. The Supreme Court had granted interim order of stay onj j 1 18.08.2006. In view of that interim order, the non-applicants .could notj j implement the orders and direotions issued by this Court. II I i (7) The interim order was operating againsf the respondent tiilj 22.Q2.2Q07 v/hen fhe petjtion was dilposed ofbythe Supreme Court at th^ instance of the petitioner as withdrawn. BUUJ.:..- ^ IT^" {1 (8) Now it is for the respondents to comply with the orders and directions issued by this Court. Time lag between 22.02.2007 and date of fiting of the petition is so short that this Court cannot expect the respondents to immediately react to the orders and direotions issued by this Court . Some time is required to be granted to the respondents to implement the orders and directions issued by this Court. (9) The deoision on vi/hich reliance is placed by the learned counsel would not assist him in any manner whatsoever. (10) In view of above, I do not intend to take oognizance of the contempt petition. Accordingly, it is rejected. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- •• ChiefJustice n
