The Division Bench of this Court in Writ Petition No.1387 of 2005 on 4th March, 2005 recorded the statement of the learned A.G.P. appearing for the State and on the basis of the said statement, the petition was withdrawn by the petitioner. The oral undertaking which was given to this Court was as under: "Shri Umakant Patil, learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the respondents state authorities, after taking instructions from Shri Kantilal Namdeo Chaudhari, Science Consultant, Pune Region, Pune, who is personally present in the court today, makes a statement that the application made by the petitioner would be considered on its own merits and the decision thereon would be forwarded to the NCTE for their consideration for the academic year 2005-06." 2 The grievance raised in this contempt petition is that in spite of the undertaking given before this Court on 4th March, 2005, the said undertaking has not been followed by the respondents. 3 In pursuant to the notice issued in this contempt petition, the respondents have filed affidavit-in-reply.
