1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO.330 OF 2009 Hazrat Mohd.Afzal’s Khan’s Memorial Society ..Petitioner V/s Union of India & Ors. ..Respondents ---- Mrs.Anupama B.Shah for the appellant. Mr.A.I.Patel AGP for the respondents. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 29.9.2009. PC 1 Heard both sides. The alleged contempt is of an order passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 30.1.2008. The background of the case is that the Govt. of India vide their order dated 23.9.2002 granted approval to the State Government for construction of a Dharmashala on a small piece of forest land. That approval was withdrawn by the Central Government by their order dated 20.1.2005. That order of cancellation of approval was challenged by filing a Writ Petition and that Writ Petition was allowed by this Court vide order dated 31.1.2008. It appears that thereafter State Government issued a show cause notice calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why approval of the Central Government should not be withdrawn. In my view, this is only a preliminary notice which has been issued. If the State Government does not find the reason given to be proper then the State Government can move the Central Government which will also be liable to follow 2 the rules of natural justice. In this view of the matter, there is no contempt involved. Contempt Petition stands dismissed. (R.S.MOHITE,J)
