DATED :

9th OCTOBER, 2019 ORAL ORDER:

A detailed order was passed by this Court on

( 2 ) 25th September, 2019, whereby Joint Director of Higher Education was directed to remain present in the Court on 9th October, 2019 with either cheque or demand draft of Rs.4034/-, as the balance amount of Rs.4034/- is admittedly not paid to the petitioner and withheld by the authority under an erroneous impression, that it is not payable.

2.

Today, Joint Director of Higher Education is present in the Court along with demand draft of Rs.4034/- bearing No. 386256 drawn at SVC Co-operative Bank, Jalgaon Branch. The demand draft is handed over to the learned Counsel for the petitioner, who in turn, has handed over the same to the petitioner Sharad Panditrao Patil, who is present in the Court. The Joint Director of Higher Education submits that henceforth, the orders of the Court would be duly complied with expeditiously. The statement made on behalf of the Joint Director of Higher Education is accepted as an undertaking to the Court, with an admonition that such things should not happen in

( 3 ) the future, as the same results in filing of proceedings, which in the first instance can be avoided thereby saving the time of the Court.

3.

As the grievance raised in the contempt petition is now addressed and redressed, nothing survives in the contempt petition and same is accordingly disposed of. [AVINASH G. GHAROTE, J.] [PRASANNA B. VARALE,J.] Tupe
