Shri N. W. Sambre, Government Pleader for the respondents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CORAM: R. K. DESHPANDE, J. DATED: 15th FEBRUARY, 2011. ORAL ORDER : 1. This contempt petition complaints about willful disobedience/breach of order dated 14/7/2010 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 2066 of 2010. By this order, this Court had directed the respondents to comply with the direction issued by the second Appellate Authority. The direction issued by the second Appellate Authority is contained in order dated 29/9/2009 passed under Section 19(3) of the Right to Information Act in Appeal No. 727 of 2009. The direction was to supply information as to how many temporary acknowledgments/licenses were issued by the Traffic Police Officers during the period from 01/01/2007 to 1502cp254.10.odt 2/2 21/7/2008 to the offenders whose licenses were impounded. The stand of the respondents was that they were not issuing license in “Form L Temp.” under Rule 14(1) of the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Rues, 1989, till the decision of this Court on 14/7/2010 rendered in Writ Petition No. 2066 of 2010. This has been admitted by the petitioner, as it appears from the order dated 05/10/2010 in Writ Petition No. 4096 of 2010. 2. In view of the above, what remained to be complied with was to supply of information to the petitioner as to how many acknowledgments/challans were issued by the respondents during the period 01/01/2007 to 31/7/2008. The said information has been supplied to the petitioner on 30/7/2008, informing that 114452 acknowledgments/challans for the period from 01/01/2007 to 31/7/2008 have been issued. Hence, the order has been compiled with. 3. A grievance of Shri Mandlekar is that this Court has although recorded in its order dated 05/10/2010 passed in Writ Petition No. 4096 of 2010 that the information as needed by the petitioner has been supplied belatedly and partially, the respondents were bound to supply the figure of issuance of licenses in form- L.tem. under Rule 14(1). However, the information sought by the petitioner on 7/8/2008 as also in the order dated 29/9/2009 passed by the Appellate Authority, this position is not clear and in view of this non supply of information does not amount to willful disobedience or breach of the order. In view of this, the contempt petition is dismissed. JUDGE WWL
