cp170.11 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 170 OF 2011 Purna Dudh Utpadak Sahakari Sanstha Ltd. .. PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & others .. RESPONDENTS Mr. R.T. Nagargoje, advocate for the petitioner. Mr. V.B. Ghatge, AGP for the State. ===== CORAM : R.M. BORDE, J. DATE : 5 th MAY, 2011. PER COURT : 1 Petitioner is alleging dis-obedience of the order dated 14-1-2011 passed by this court in Writ Petition no. 8565/2010. 2 It is observed by this court in paragraph no. 1(ii) of the order that if respondent no. 4 is already carrying out the scheme for collection of milk, then status quo position to be maintained only for a period of four months and within such period appropriate decision to be rendered by respondent cp170.11 2 no. 2. It is also directed in paragraph no. 1(i) of the order that respondent no. 2 shall consider the request of respondent no. 4 for grant of permission to open bank account and to operate the scheme for collection of milk in the area for which respondent no. 4 did apply. However, the impugned order which was subject matter of challenge in writ petition was set aside. It is alleged that hearing of the matter was prescribed on 25-2-2011 at 12 o’ clock and communication to that effect was issued to the parties concerned. However, in view of order dated 25-2-2011, respondent no. 4 has been permitted to disburse the amount to the milk producers through the bank until further hearing and disposal of the application. Communication dated. 25-2-2011 is stated to be in breach of the directives issued by this court. 3 As stated above, respondent no. 4 is permitted to continue to collect milk and status-quo position was directed to be maintained in that regard for a period of four months. If respondent no. 4 continue to collect milk, it would be in the fitness of things to permit the concerned respondent to disburse payment to the milk producers. In permitting respondent no. 4 to disburse the amount to the milk producers through bank, the Divisional Deputy cp170.11 3 Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Aurangabad cannot be said to have violated the spirit of the order passed by this court. Contempt petition is devoid of substance hence stands rejected. 4 Pending civil application, if any, does not survive and stands disposed of. ( R. M. BORDE ) JUDGE dyb
