CORAM

: S.B. SHUKRE, J.

DATE : 21 st DECEMBER, 2016.

Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the respondent.

The learned Counsel for the respondent has produced before the Court affidavit-in-reply of the proposed contemptnor-Shri Shravan Pramod Hardikar. It is taken on record.

A perusal of the affidavit-in-reply discloses that some action for removal of certain portion of the unauthorised and illegal construction was undertaken by the respondent. But same could not be continued after the status quo order was passed in the execution proceedings initiated by the petitioner. The status quo order was passed on 17/10/2016. It must be pointed out here that liberty to institute the proceedings for execution was granted to the petitioner by

cp.138 2 this Court on 1st July, 2016 and thereafter all these developments take place. It is clear that no prima facie case for willful disobedience has been made out. The contempt petition, therefore, deserves to be rejected summararily. The contempt petition stands rejected.
