IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 77 OF 2010 Shri Vishwakumar V. Badawe ...Petitioner. v. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents. Mr. P.M.Arjunwadkar, adv. For the Petitioner. Mr.A.I.I.Patel, AGP For the Respondent Nos.1 and 2. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : APRIL 29, 2010 P.C. 1 In writ petition no.9336/09 , this Court had by the order dated 13th November, 2009 directed the respondent no.1 to hear and take final decision on the revision application within a period of eight weeks. This contempt petition was filed on the ground that decision was not taken within the stipulated period. Affidavit-in-reply has been filed by S.B. Patil, Joint Secretary-cum-Officer on Special Duty to Government, Co-operation, Marketing and Textile Department, Government of Maharashtra wherein he has stated that the said order was received on 31.11.2009. Thereafter, Minister had taken up the matter for hearing but he had also to decide some stay applications in the matter and then the main matter. Finally he decided matter and passed the judgment and order on 16.2.2010 and that order was communicated to the parties on - 2 - 8.3.2010. It appears that there was delay of about 4 or 5 weeks in passing the order. However, in view of the reasons given in the application, I find that merely because of the delay, there is no need to take any contempt action particularly when the order of this Court has already been complied. Therefore, the petition stands dismissed. (J.H. BHATIA,J.)
