The respondent and her daughter Hemlata while roped in as accused in connection with murder of one Kunal Parihar, filed an application to allow her to visit Dubai where the family was running a business along with her sister. Permission was granted by the Court with a condition of deposit of cash of Rs.5.00 lakhs in the Court of Sessions, Satara and she was further directed to give an undertaking that she shall return to the country within two weeks from the date of her departure and on her return she will also bring ((-2-)) her daughter Hemlata with her, who was also an accused in the case. 2. This contempt was initiated on the premiss that the respondent had not brought her daughter Hemlata to India to face the trial in terms of the afofresaid order and consequent undertaking. 3. Notice was issued. The respondent along with her learned counsel is present in the Court. She has tendered an unconditional apology before the Court and has submitted that although Hemlata did not return with her, but, subsequently, she came to India to face the trial and got discharged. That order of discharge was upheld by the High Court and an appeal filed by the State also stood dismissed by the Supreme Court. These facts are not disputed by the learned APP. 4. In this view of the matter, we feel that no purpose will be served by proceeding with this contempt which is brought. The contempt petition is disposed off. (BILAL NAZKI, J.)
