DATED: 31ST AUGUST, 2010 PER COURT:- 1 Heard counsel for the petitioners as well as the respective respondents. 2 This contempt petitions are filed alleging that there is disobedience of the order dated 15.12.2009 passed by this Court in Civil application No. 10845 of 2005 in writ petition No. 3391 of 2003 and other connected matters. The order dated 15.12.2003 passed by this court in the aforesaid civil applications, is reproduced herein below:- “Heard. Civil applications are made absolute in terms of prayer clause “B”. Arrears of salary to be paid within three months. The respondent No.2 is directed to take steps to absorb the applicants in any other recognized aided Ashram Schools. All civil applications are disposed of.” 3 3 Being aggrieved by the aforesaid order, one of the respondent in the said civil applications i.e. District Social Welfare Officer, Zilla Parishad, Nanded, filed Review petition No. 6 of 2007, Review petition No.7 of 2007 and Review petition No.8 of 2007. The said review petitions were heard by the learned Division Bench of this court on 21.11.2007. This Court after hearing counsel appearing for the respective parties, in para 7 has observed thus;- “In the light of that, all the orders passed in the respective civil applications dated 15.12.2003 are recalled. Review Applications are allowed. These Civil Applications be listed before appropriate Bench for passing necessary orders. Rule is, thus, made absolute on the terms indicated above with no order as to costs.” 4 Since the orders in the aforesaid civil applications are recalled, the present contempt petitions which arise out of the said order, do not survive in view of the order passed in the review petitions. 5 In the result, nothing survives for consideration in these contempt petitions. Hence, the contempt petitions are disposed of. Rule discharged. ( S. S. SHINDE. J.) rlj/ 4
