It is the grievance of the petitioner that inspite of the stipulation of period, the respondent failed to decide the appeal and the appeal is still pending before the respondent for decision.

¶21

As the copy of the contempt petition was served on the office of Addl. Government Pleader, the learned Addl. Government Pleader established contact with the office of the respondent, who is occupying the position of Minister of Urban Development of State of Maharashtra. In response, it is informed to the learned Addl. Government Pleader that due to certain procedural and technical difficulties the appeal could not be heard and now hearing of the appeal is scheduled on 5 September 2019. It is also informed by the learned Addl. Government Pleader that if the parties extend co-operation to the respondent Authority, the Authority would decide the appeal as expeditiously as possible. Accepting this statement of learned Addl. Government Pleader made before this Court on instructions, we deem it appropriate to dispose off the contempt petition by allowing the petitioner to appear before the respondent on the scheduled date i.e. 5 September 2019 for hearing and on hearing of the parties on scheduled date, respondent to decide the appeal
