The breach alleged is of the following part of the order dated 22 nd December, 2010 passed by the Division Bench: “(iii) The Nashik Municipal Corporation shall be at liberty to proceed with the inquiry initiated against the Respondent No.3 and the decision of the State Government in the inquiry initiated by it will not come in the way of the inquiry commenced by the Nashik Municipal Corporation which shall arrive at its own conclusion.” 2 50 cp.154.11 2 The contention of the Petitioner is that notwithstanding the direction issued by this Court, the Nashik Municipal Corporation is not proceeding with the inquiry. On the face of the order, there is no specific direction to the Nashik Municipal Corporation to proceed with the inquiry. The order only grants a liberty to the Nashik Municipal Corporation to proceed with the inquiry. It only clarifies that the decision of the State Government in the inquiry initiated by it will not come in the way of concluding the inquiry commenced by the Nashik Municipal Corporation. Therefore, on the basis of this order, no action for contempt can be initiated under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Petitioner will have to seek appropriate remedy. 3 Accordingly, the contempt petition is disposed of. [ A.S.OKA, J ]
