Chandurkar, counsel for the petitioner. Shri A.D. Sonak, Assistant Government Pleader for the R/State. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : FEBRUARY 18, 2009. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. By the order dated 29.09.2008, the Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee was granted extension for a period of three months to decide the caste claim of respondent no.3 to Writ Petition No.2674/2007. It was the case of the petitioner that the three months' time expired on 28.12.2008 and the committee had still not decided the caste claim of respondent no.3 to the writ petition. According to the petitioner, the committee has deliberately and willfully disobeyed the order passed by the High Court on 29.09.2008. 2 It is brought to the notice of this Court by Shri Sonak, the learned Assistant Government Pleader that the Division Bench of this Court had further granted an extension of three months for deciding the caste claim of the respondent no.3 in Writ Petition No.2674/2007. According to the learned Assistant Government Pleader that period has yet not expired and, therefore, the contempt petition is liable to be dismissed. On considering the statements made on behalf of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, it is clear that no action could be initiated against the respondents for committing contempt of the Court by willful disobedience of the order dated 29.09.2008. In the result, the contempt petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE APTE
