Bhavesh Rajendra Dani ....Respondent Mr.D.P. Adsule, APP for the Applicant. Mrs.A.M.Z. Ansari with Mrs.Nasreen Ayubee for the respondent. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND U.D.SALVI, JJ. DATED:- SEPTEMBER 24, 2010. P.C. 1. This application is filed by the concerned Officer who was directed to pay sum of Rs.5,000/- to the Petitioner towards costs for seeking further time to file reply affidavit. We have recorded the background in which the said order was required to be passed. In our opinion, the fact that the Writ Petition has been eventually dismissed will be of no avail. Inasmuch as, in Writ Petition, which seeks to assail the preventive detention order, concerns the liberty of a 2 appw371-10.sxw person. The Authority is expected to file response with promptitude. It is not as if on the first date itself, the Court expected the Authority to file its reply. The Respondent was given sufficient time to file reply in terms of the order dated 31st August, 2010. No reply was filed within the time specified in the said order and when the matter was called out for hearing, request for adjournment was made. In the circumstances, we see no reason to recall our order dated 14th September 2010. 2. Hence, this application is rejected. (U.D.SALVI, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
