We have also perused the affidavit filed by Mr.Milind Kalidas Patil, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Rajapeth Division, Amravati, who has stated that after taking up the charge by him, original cheques were received on 19.03.2016 and samples of the handwriting of the accused are required to be collected. Accordingly, samples of the some of the accused are already collected. In the said affidavit, it has been stated that after collecting handwriting of the remaining accused, the said will be sent to the handwriting expert.
On perusal of the affidavit in reply, we do not find any reason to interfere in the contempt proceedings against the non applicant.
In that view of the matter, the Contempt Petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that the complainant has every right to approach before the appropriate forum for early disposal of the case.
