1 acd IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 368 OF 2008 M/s. Kuber Builders ... Petitioner. Vs. Ajitkumar Devkumarshing Kasliwal … Respondent. Mr. Lalit V. Jain, for the Petitioner. Mr. R.A. Thorat, for Respondent. ..... CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI,J. DATE : 22 nd APRIL, 2010. P.C. 1. This is a Contempt Petition alleging willful breach of the Order and directions of this Court dated 3.3.2006, a copy of which is at page 114 of the paper-book. 2. Shri Jain, appearing for the Petitioner submits that considering the nature of the controversy before the Trial Court and prayers in that suit, when parties were directed to maintain the status-quo as prevailing on 3.3.2006 in relation to the suit property, then, addressing a letter to the tenants calling upon the tenants of the property to pay the rent to the Respondent is breach of the Order of status-quo. That amounts to violating the said Order. 2 3. On the other hand, it is contended that the Order of status-quo has later been clarified and in any event addressing a letter by itself is no contempt nor violation of the order of status-quo. 4. Having perused the Contempt Petition and the Order of this Court, I am of the view that all that has been done is parties have placed their interpretation of the order of status-quo. The state of affairs according to the parties as prevailing on the date of the Order have been set out and according to one of them they are entitled to collect the rent. By itself addressing such a letter would not mean that the Order is violated. In any event, the said aspect has been clarified by the Court in subsequent Orders between the same parties but in distinct proceedings. 5. In this view of the matter, the Contempt Petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. (S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
