- 1 - (G.C.P.)J 455 (5,00,000)-11.2001) Spl-H.C.,A.S.,C.D.,78e IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE Contempt Petition No.350 of 2004 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda Court’s or Judge’s orders of Coram, appearances, Court’s order or directions and Registrar’s order. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR, J DATED : 7th SEPTEMBER, 2004. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the petitioner in person. 2. The grievance of the petition is that in accordance with the order passed by the Division Bench in Writ Petition No.4544 of 1991 on 13th February, 2004, the petitioner has already made representation to the Corporation and even the Corporation had granted him hearing on 9th June, 2004. However, till this date, no order has been passed on the representation, that is causing him great prejudice. Undoubtedly, the Division Bench had not specified any period for disposal of the representation of the petitioner. That, however, does not mean that the public body like Corporation, - 2 - having approached with representation pursuant to the order of the Court, should sleep over the representation indefinitely. Indeed, one fails to understand as to why the Corporation should not dispose of the matter after having heard the matter on 9th June, 2004 till this date. Though there is no case for contempt proceedings against the respondent, but certainly the respondent as a public body like Corporation is expected to consider the representation in accordance with the provisions of law as expeditiously as possible to avoid hardship to the petitioner. 3. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. -----
