Mr.S.L.Ganbhavale, AGP for Respondents. --- CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & A.R.JOSHI,JJ. DATED: 2nd July, 2010 P.C.: 1. The facts that give rise to this review application are that Writ petition no.10855 of 2009 was filed by the petitioner who is a practising Advocate, challenging the order by 2 which he was removed from the office of the Notary. When the matter came up before us, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner stated that the petitioner is not interested in continuing as a Notary and he wants to resign, but he cannot resign because the order of removal is already passed. Therefore, to facilitate him to give his resignation, we granted ad-interim order staying operation of the removal order, and as per the statement the petitioner was to resign. But then he changed his mind and decided not to resign. Therefore, by our order dated 17.2.2010, recording all these facts, we have dismissed the petition and cost of Rs.25,000/- was also imposed. 2. Now this review petition has been filed saying that the petitioner decided not to resign because of wrong and misleading advice given to him and he is sorry for that and he is now willing to resign. The learned Counsel appearing for petitioner has also handed over his 3 resignation letter to the learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent-Government. Considering that the petitioner is a practising lawyer and he has actually handed over resignation, in our opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice:- The Order dated 17.2.2010 passed in Writ Petition no.10855 of 2009 is recalled. That writ petition is disposed of in the following terms:- The order of removal of the petitioner from the office of the Notary is set aside. As the petitioner has submitted his resignation, the Central Government may accept it. The petitioner through his Advocate has undertaken before us that he will not work as notary pursuant to his appointment which was set aside by the Central Government. The undertaking is accepted. The petitioner shall pay Rs.10,000/- as cost of this petition to the respondents within a period of two weeks from today. A copy of the resignation original of 4 which has been handed over to the learned Counsel appearing for the Central Government, is placed on record and is marked as X for identification purpose. The petition is disposed of. (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.) (A.R.JOSHI,J.) ...
