: 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CONTEMPT PETITION NO.302 OF 2008 IN WRIT PETITION NO.9402 OF 2005 Jeevan Krishnarao Pise .. Petitioner V/s. Yeshwant Doiphode & Anr. .. Respondents Mr. Kiran Kumar Phakade i/b. Mr. S.S. Pakale for the Petitioner. Mr. A.I. Patel, AGP, for the Respondents. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED : 5 TH MARCH, 2010. P.C.: 1. The Contempt Petition has been preferred contending that the respondents have breached an order of status-quo granted by this Court. It appears that on 2nd January, 2006, this Court had passed an order in Writ Petition No.9402 of 2005 directing the parties to maintain status-quo as of that date by passing the following order : “Issue notice to respondents returnable in four weeks. In the meanwhile, status-quo as on today to continue.” : 2 : 2. On 16th February, 2006, when the matter appeared on board, it was stood over for one week. The matter then appeared on 3rd April, 2006, when rule was issued and rule on interim relief was made returnable after two weeks. 3. It appears that the petitioner was terminated from service on 3rd April, 2008. In my view, therefore, the respondents have not committed breach of any order as the order of status-quo was not extended after 16th February, 2006. 4. The Contempt Petition is dismissed.
