FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 1735 OF 2010 (Pradip Jagannath Patil & Anr Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors) ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ The grievance made in this petition is of non disposal of the proceeding pending before respondent No.2. Learned A.G.P. on instructions states that delay in disposal of the proceeding pending before respondent No.2 is attributable to the petitioners, who have failed to appear before respondent No.2 on the notified dates. If it is so, the petitioners cannot be heard to make a grievance about non disposal of the said proceeding. Nevertheless, we place the statement made by respondent No.2 through counsel on record that he shall make attempt to dispose of the proceeding expeditiously and in any case within six months from today. We direct the petitioners to remain present before respondent No.2 on all scheduled dates and participate in the proceeding. If respondent No.2 were to form opinion that the petitioners are attempting to protract the proceeding or remain absent, respondent No.2 will be free to pass appropriate orders. Besides that, respondent No.2 shall submit report to this Court in that behalf on the basis of which the appropriate proceeding can be taken against the petitioners. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (S. S. SHINDE. J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.) Date:04.03.2010. rlj/
