P.C. :-

¶17

The contempt alleged is of the order dated 27^th

¶18

October, 2014 passed by a Division Bench of this Court, (V.M. Kanade, as His Lordship then was & Smt. Anuja Prabhudesai, JJ). By the said order, the respondent no.1 i.e. the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai was directed to

¶19

decide the representation of the petitioner, which is annexed at Exhibit-5 to the petition, as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of 12 weeks after giving a personal hearing to the petitioner. Insofar as, the compliance of the said order is concerned, the Learned Senior Counsel, Shri. Dhond appearing for the then, Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, Shri. Rakesh Maria states that, a hearing was given to the petitioner and pursuant to which hearing, the decision was orally communicated to the petitioner and the petitioner was satisfied. However, a formal communication as such was

¶20

not made to the petitioner as regards the outcome of the

¶21

said hearing. The veracity of the said case of respondent

¶22

Rane * 3/4 * CP-270-2015 (SR.915) Friday, 1.9.2017

¶23

no.1 as urged by the Learned Counsel Shri. Dhond, cannot be disputed. However, since the order mandates that the

¶24

said representation of the petitioner is required to be decided and in view of the fact that the incumbent of the office of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai has now changed, it would be just and proper to issue the following directions :-

¶25

(i) The present incumbent of the office of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, Shri. Padsalgikar, would hear the petitioner and decide his representation within four weeks from date. The decision to be communicated to the petitioner thereafter.

¶26

(ii) The petitioner would remain present before the Commissioner of Police, Shri. Padsalgikar on 12^th September, 2017 at 3.00
