Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- C ORAM : C.L.PANGARKAR, J. DATED : 21st November, 2009. Heard Mr.Kankale, learned A.G.P. for the respondent. None appears for the petitioner. The application for contempt was filed by the petitioner on the ground that the respondent did not decide the appeal within the time stipulated by this court. The learned AGP had appeared in the matter voluntarily and he was directed to obtain instructions from the respondent in the matter. Accordingly, the respondent has filed an affidavit. He has tendered an unconditional apology. The affidavit goes to show as to how the matter was protracted and how the parties have sought 2 adjournments on one or other reasons. The learned A.G.P. further submitted that parties intended to settle the matter out of court. It appears that due to this contingency, the appeal could not be decided within time. It also appears, therefore that there was no deliberate inaction on the part of the respondent for not deciding the appeal and in view of this the application for contempt stands dismissed. Contempt stands purged. JUDGE. chute
