P.C.
1The learned counsel for the Pune
Municipal Corporation has placed on
record the order dated 24th January 2014
passed by the concerned Officer of the
Pune Municipal Corporation. He has also
placed the communication dated 17th
September 2014 which is an order based
on the order dated 24th January 2014.
2Though belatedly, the Municipal
Corporation has complied with the
directions issued by this Court. Hence,
it cannot be said that there is any
wilful disobdience of the order on the
part of the concerned Officer of the
2 cp208
Municipal Corporation. Hence, it is
not necessary to initiate action under
the Contempt of Courts Act,1971. By
taking the aforesaid orders on record,
we dispose of the petition.
(A.K.MENON,J)
