This Petition arises out of reference made by the Court below about the offending remark made by the Respondent/Contemnor before the Court at the time of hearing of the case. 2. On the earlier occasion, when the matter was taken up for hearing, in deference to the observations made by the Court, the Respondent/Contemnor expressed remorse and wanted to tender unconditional apology for the acts of commission and omission for which present action has been initiated. Since, we noticed that the Respondent/Contemnor has realised his mistake, we gave him opportunity in the first place to approach the trial Court and file purshis that he unconditionally withdraws all the insinuations and allegations made by him and tender unconditional apology. Accordingly, he approached the lower Court and has invited order of the lower Court on the purshish (Exhibit-23). Besides, the Respondent/Contemnor has tendered fresh affidavit of unconditional apology before this Court sworn on 4th February, 2011, which mentions that he not only withdraws the statement made by him before the trial Court, but, also tenders unconditional apology for his acts of commission and omission. The Respondent/Contemnor who is present in Court also assures us 3 15.conp.26-10 that he will not indulge in similar gimmicks in future. That assurance is accepted. 3. In view of the above, the show cause notice is discharged. Reference proceedings be consigned to the record as disposed of. 4. Court expresses word of gratitude to the able assistance given by the learned amicus curiae. (A. R. JOSHI, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
