( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 164 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 7610 OF 2008 Bhausaheb s/o. Shamrao Harde .. Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents Shri Suresh N. Rodge, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri D.R. Korde, A.G.P. for the respondents. CORAM : S.S. SHINDE, J. DATED : 01.09.2010 P.C. :- 1. In this Contempt Petition, the petitioner has stated that order passed by the learned Division Bench of this Court in Writ Petition No. 7610 of 2008 on 17.07.2009 is not complied with by the respondents. The learned Division Bench of this Court by its order dated 17.07.2009 while withdrawing the petition granted liberty to the petitioner to make proper representation to the Collector, within 15 days from the date of passing of the order. It is observed that ( 2 ) in the event representation is made, the Collector is expected to decide the same on its own merit with expeditious dispatch at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 2. Affidavit-in-reply is filed on behalf of respondent No.3. In para 3, a statement is made that the order passed by this Court is duly complied with and to that effect the communication is addressed to the petitioner by respondent No.3 on 25.10.2009. Learned A.G.P. has tendered communication dated 25.10.2009 addressed by respondent No.3. Said communication is taken on record and marked "X" for identification. 3. On perusal of the affidavit-in-reply and the communication dated 25.10.2009, it clearly emerges that necessary decision has been taken to pay rental compensation to the petitioner. In this view of the matter, in my opinion, no fruitful purpose would be served in continuing the Contempt Petition. It is needless to mention that if the petitioner is aggrieved by the decision of the respondents, then he can take appropriate remedy before the proper forum. ( 3 ) 4. In the light of affidavit-in-reply filed by the respondent No.3 and communication dated 25.10.2009 addressed to the petitioner by respondent No.3, the Contempt Petition is disposed of. Notice discharged. [S.S. SHINDE,J.] snk/2010/SEP10/cp164.10
