1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE Criminal Contempt Petition No.5 of 2008 Prakash Ganpat Sawant .. .. Petitioner v/s. Zilla Parishad & ors. .. .. Respondents Mr.Prakash Ganpat Sawant, Petitioner in person. Mrs.P.H.Kantharia, APP. ----- CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & A.P. DESHPANDE, JJ. Dated : 15th April 2008 P.C. : 1.This is a Contempt Petition filed by the petitioner-in-person. Earlier the petitioner has filed three Writ Petitions. In the earlier Writ Petition being Writ Petition No.7783 of 2003, the Court said : “ .... A statement further is made that the respondent would be constructing roads under various schemes. In view of such factual state of affairs, we see no reason to issue any direction whatever under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence, Petition is rejected.” 2 2.The case of the petitioner was that certain roads should be constructed. Thereafter he filed another Writ Petition which was dismissed by this Court on 20th April 2005, with an observation that orders have already been passed in earlier Writ Petition No.7783 of 2003 and, therefore, the Petition was dismissed. Thereafter, the third Writ Petition being Writ Petition No.8834 of 2005 was filed in which the following order was passed on 20th December 2005 by a Division Bench:- “ Writ Petition 7783/03 praying for identical reliefs as present one was rejected by a reasoned order dated 18.3.2004. 2.Thereafter Writ Petition No.1801/05 was filed for same prayers. That also was rejected on 20.4.05. This is the third petition which is filed for same reliefs. Only because the petitioner appears in person we resist from holding it to be vexatious litigation. Petition dismissed.” No directions have ever been passed by this Court in any such proceedings that a road should be constructed. The Government had only said under various schemes that the roads are being constructed. Since the petitioner is filing 3 petitions after petitions and now has filed the Contempt Petition without there being any disobedience or willful disobedience of the orders of this Court, this Petition is dismissed. Costs of Rs.2,000/- are imposed on the petitioner. (BILAL NAZKI, J. ) (A.P. DESHPANDE , J.)
