The application is for alleged contempt of Court by disobedience of the orders passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 12.8.2008. Although, the claim which was pressed before the Bench was that respondent Nos. 2 and 3 should take a decision on the application of the petitioners filed under Section 83 of the MVA Act, the Hon'ble Bench directed the 2nd respondent alone to take a decision on the applications of the petitioners in accordance with law. The 2nd respondent had passed an order dated 12.11.2008 which is produced along with the petition and it shows that he has taken a decision allowing for the replacement of vehicle No. PB05E/9498 on permit No. 21Reg/Mini/RTA/F/04 subject to usual terms and conditions. Thus, there has been substantial compliance of the order passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench. The complaint of the petitioners is that pursuant to the directions, the District Transport Officer, Ferozepur has not taken suitable action. It shall be open to the petitioner C.O.C.P. No. 1209 of 2009 2 to approach the District Transport Officer, Ferozepur for appropriate follow up, pursuant to the orders of the Secretary Regional Transport Authority, Ferozepur. There is no case made out for contempt against respondent Nos.2 and 3. 2. The contempt petition is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE July 20, 2009 archana
