Shri M.B.Avhad, Chief Manager, Recovery Dept., Jankalyan Sah. Bank Ltd. ...Respondent. Mr.P.S.Dani a/w Dnyaneshwar @ D.W.Bhosale , adv. for the Petitioners. CORAM: CORAM: CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. J.H.BHATIA,J. J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE: 11th March, 2008. DATE: 11th March, 2008. DATE: 11th March, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, who was the respondent no.3 in Writ Petition No.8743 of 2007. While disposing off that writ petition by the order dated 17th January, 2008, the learned Single Judge of this Court had observed in paragraph 4 that the borrower and the guarantor shall be entitled to inspect books of accounts/statements and relevant documents so as to enable them to make appropriate submissions before the Assistant Registrar. In paragraph 8, it was observed that if copies of all the relevant documents on which the bank would rely before the Assistant Registrar, including, statement of account are furnished to the borrower and the guarantor, it would not be necessary for the bank to give any inspection. The learned counsel for the petitioners pointed out to the :2: Assistant Registrar dealing with the application for issuance of recovery certificate that these orders were not complied but the Assistant Registrar observed that as it was order of the High Court, he could not pass any order and the parties could take appropriate action. In these circumstances, the petitioners, who were the respondents therein and who are borrower and guarantor have filed the contempt petition. According to them by not supplying copies or by not giving inspection, the bank has committed contempt of the Court. I am unable to understand how this can be contempt of the Court because if the bank does not supply the copies or does not give the inspection, the Assistant Registrar may draw adverse inference against the bank. The learned counsel for the petitioners makes a statement that the petitioners shall make appropriate application before the Assistant Registrar to draw adverse inference against the bank and, therefore, he does not want to press this contempt petition. It is expected that the Assistant Registrar will take appropriate decision on that application. 2. In the result, Contempt Petition stands dismissed. :3: (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
