By this contempt petition, the petitioners have alleged that respondent No.1 has disobeyed the orders dated 30.01.2009 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No.590/2009. This Court, on 30.01.2009 has passed the following order “Issue notice returnable in two weeks. Mr.Alok Sharma waives service for respondent No.1. Ad interim relief in terms of prayer clause “D”. The present respondent No.1 was respondent No.3 in the said writ petition. It is alleged that though the notice of this petition was served on respondent No.1 on 16.03.2009 yet he has made a correspondence {2} with the authorities under the provisions of the Right to Information Act. 2. Respondent No.1, after service of notice, appeared and filed affidavit in reply. In para 3 of the affidavit, respondent No.1 has not disputed the order dated 30.01.2009, however it is contended that respondent No.1 was not aware of this order when he submitted application seeking certain information. In para 5 as well as in para 2 respondent No.1 has tendered unconditional apology for moving application and has contended that due to lack of knowledge of the order he had submitted the said application. If respondent No.1 has tendered unconditional apology and explained that due to lack of knowledge of the order dated 30.01.2009 he has filed the application seeking certain information, it cannot be said that this act amounts to willful disobedience on the part of the respondent. At the same time, he has tendered unconditional apology, which is accepted with a warning not to repeat the same act, this petition stands disposed of by accepting the apology.
