1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 162 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 132 OF 2010 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. Sarika Deshpande h/f Mr. R.P. Phatke, advocate for respondent No.2 Committee. It is not disputed that the oder dated 2.3.2010 passed in writ petition No. 132 of 2010 by the learned Division Bench of this court is complied with. The question remains whether the said order is complied with within six weeks from the date of order passed by the learned Division Bench of this court. In pursuance to the notice issued by this court, affidavit in reply is filed on behalf of respondent Committee. The said affidavit in reply is sworn in by Smt. Pritee d/o Dinanath Bondre, working as Member of the said committee. The contents in para 8 to 11 are the explanation offered for not deciding the claim within a period of six weeks from the date 2 of order passed by this court. It is stated that the caste claim of the petitioner has been decided on 18.6.2010. This position is not disputed by the counsel appearing for the petitioner. Apart from this, the respondent has also tendered unconditional apology for not deciding the claim within six weeks. Taking over all view of the matter, in my opinion, since the order of the learned Division Bench of this Court has been complied with, the further adjudication of this contempt petition would be futile exercise. In this view of the matter, contempt petition is disposed of. Notice discharged. (S. S. SHINDE. J.) Date:04.10.2010. rlj/
