P.C. : P.C. : P.C. :- . The petitioner has made a grievance about the non-compliance with the order of this court dated 03.08.1993. On that date, this court directed the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Solapur to decide the petitioner’s representation within a period of six weeks from that date. Despite the representation was made on 6.9.1993, the Zilla Parishad has admittedly failed to decide it within the time stipulated by the court. 2. It appears from the contention of Mr.Jamdar, the -: 2 :- learned counsel for the Respondent that the Zilla Parishad has decided the representation, although belatedly. Mr. Kudle, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that if the representation had been decided within the reasonable time, the petitioner would have an opportunity to resort to a remedy against the wrong. Apparantly, the petitioner has in fact resorted to a remedy by filing a writ petition, which was not successful. 3. Having regard to the circumstances of the case and the fact that there was a delay only and not a complete non-compliance of the order, it would be appropriate to accept an unconditional apology tendered by the respondent No.1 to this court. Rule is hereby discharged. (S.A.BOBDE,J.) .....
