1 cp-487.10 Ash FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO.487 OF 2010 Office Notes, Office memorandum of Coram, appearances, Court’s Court’s or orders or directions & Judge’s orders. Registrar’s orders. Shri P. R. Kadam for the Petitioners. -- CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 29TH NOVEMBER, 2010 P.C.: . The breach alleged is of an order dated 26th February, 2009 passed by the Division Bench of this Court directing the learned Charity Commissioner to decide an application made by the Petitioners within a period of one year. The allegation is that the said direction has not been complied with. The learned Charity Commissioner is a judicial officer who is seized of a large number of original as well as appellate proceedings. Therefore, non-compliance with the direction to decide a particular matter in a time-bound schedule by itself may not attract any action under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. It was for the Petitioners to bring to the notice of the learned Charity Commissioner the order dated 26th 2 cp-487.10 February, 2009 passed by the Division Bench of this Court. It is obvious that once such direction is pointed out to the learned Charity Commissioner, he is bound to take appropriate steps in the matter. 2. Subject to what is observed above, no case is made out for taking action under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Contempt Petition is disposed of. (A.S.OKA, J)
