Case (C) 672 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Dated: AUGUST 7, 2008 JUDGMENT This contempt petition has been filed on the allegation that despite Annexure A1 interim order, the Additional District Magistrate has issued Annexure A12 notice, intimating that steps will be taken for withdrawing the NOC under the Explosives Act. 2. Respondents have filed an affidavit in which it is stated that initially Annexure A1 order was received by the Deputy Collector (LR) and that the Additional District Magistrate issued Annexure A2 before knowing about the interim order. It is also stated that on coming to know of Annexure A1 interim order, the respondents have discontinued all further proceedings in pursuance to Annexure A12. They have also expressed their regret for the mistake they have committed. 3. On going through the affidavit, I am satisfied Cont. Case (C) 672 of 2008 2 that Annexure A12 does not reflect any deliberate intention to violate Annexure A1 order, especially for the reason that the respondents themselves have confessed that on coming to know of Annexure A1, they have discontinued all further proceedings pursuant to Annexure A12 and have expressed regret for the mistake. Therefore recording the statement that in view of Annexure A1, all further proceedings pursuant to Annexure A12 has been discontinued, this contempt case is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE mt/-
