CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ.

DATED : JUNE 30, 2015.

By this contempt petition, the petitioner seeks action against the respondents for willful disobedience of the order dated 6.1.2015 in Writ Petition No.7359 of 2014.

It is stated on behalf of the petitioner that though the respondent was directed to decide the representations made by the petitioner for permission to start a new Junior College within a period of twelve weeks, the representations are not decided till date.

Shri Sonak, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents, states on instructions that the respondents would take a decision on the representations within a period of two weeks. By accepting the statement made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, which would be binding on the respondents, we dispose of the contempt petition, as there was no direction to the respondents to decide the representations within twelve weeks only and this court had directed the respondents to decide the representations preferably within twelve weeks.

The contempt petition is disposed of, with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
