1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 218 OF 2008 Suraj Agro Industries ....Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra & others ....Respondents. Shri. A.G. Talhar, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri. S.K. Kadam, AGP for the respondent No. 1. Shri. A.M. Gholap, Advocate for respondent No. 3. CORAM : R.K. DESHPANDE, J. DATE : 30th November, 2009 PER COURT : 1. This petition complains about willful disobedience of the order dated 3rd of May 2007, passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Petition No. 1338 of 2007. By this order, the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 are directed, not to create any third party rights in respect of secured assets till further orders. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner Shri. Talhar, this order was in force till 18th of July 2008, when this Court permitted the present petitioner to withdraw the petition. According to 2 Shri. Talhar, the learned counsel for the petitioner, the respondents have sold the property during the period from 3.5.2007 to 18.7.2008, which was in violation of the order dated 3rd of May 2007. 2. There is no date given in the petition about the creation of third party interest by the respondents. It is, therefore, not possible to ascertain, whether the property sold was prior to the date of order of statusquo or subsequent to the withdrawal of the writ petition. Be that as it may. The petition has been withdrawn. As a result, the interim order stood vacated. In view of this, I do not see any reason to proceed with this contempt petition. The contempt petition is, therefore, dismissed. It is, however, made clear that the dismissal of this petition shall not come in the way of the petitioner in prosecuting the other remedies. [ R.K.
