None for the Petitioners. Mr.A.I.I.Patel, AGP For the Respondent No.1. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : APRIL 29, 2010 P.C. 1 None for the petitioners. Heard the learned AGP. Petitioners had filed writ petition no.4247/08 against inaction on the part of the respondent no.3 in taking decision on representation for starting primary health centre at Village: Bhose Taluka: Pandharpur, District: Solapur. By the order dated 2nd December, 2008, this Court had directed the respondent nos.2 and 3 to take decision in the matter within 12 weeks from the date of communication of the said order. Contempt Petition was filed contending that said order was not complied within time. Affidavit- in-reply filed by the respondent no.2 Sharvari Gokhale, Additional Chief Secretary, Public Health Department, reveals that said order was communicated on 11.2.2009, thereafter she and other officers were busy in Loksabha elections and due to code of conduct during the elections, - 2 - no decision could have been taken. Thereafter in view of the prevailing policy of the Government, decision was taken and the representation was rejected and this was communicated to the petitioner by the letter dated 18.9.2009. Reasons for the rejection are also given in paragraph 5. I am satisfied with the reasons for delay in taking decision. Therefore, I see no reason to take any action for the contempt of the Court. 2 Petition stands dismissed. (J.H. BHATIA,J.)
