1 CP 430-08 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO.430 OF 2008 Ashok Janardan Devkar ..Petitioner V/s. M.B.Pathare ..Respondent None for the Petitioner Mr.G.S.Hegde, Advocate, for the Respondent CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 6TH AUGUST, 2010 P.C. . None for the Petitioner. The learned Counsel for the Respondent points out that the Petitioner complains of disobedience of Order passed by the Commissioner for welfare of handicapped. 2. Merely because the Commissioner describes himself as Judge, he does not become a Judge. The powers given to the Commissioner under Sections 62 and 63 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 2 CP 430-08 are only for the purpose of regulating the proceedings before him. There are several authorities who have the powers of the Civil Court for dealing with proceedings before them. Likewise, there are several authorities who are deemed to be Civil Court for the purpose of Section 195 & Chapter XXVI of Code of Criminal Procedure. That does not make such authorities a Court. 3. Therefore, a Petition under the Contempt of Courts Act complaining disobedience of his order is not tenable. Contempt Petition is dismissed. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
