Mrs. Dangre, the learned Additional Government Pleader, submitted that the respondents had immediately, applied for extension of time to comply with the orders passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 4th April, 2005.

The respondent-State filed Special Leave Petition before the Hon'ble Apex Court challenging the judgment dated 4th April, 2007.

Later on, the Hon'ble Supreme Court was pleased to issue show cause notice to the petitioner and grant ad interim stay to the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 4th July, 2007, on 14th May, 2007. 3 Considered the submissions made on behalf of the parties. In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, it cannot be said that the respondents have deliberately and intentionally flouted the directions issued by this Court in its judgment dated 4th April, 2007 in Writ Petition No. 970/2007.
