CORAM : A.S. CHANDURKAR & RAJESH S. PATIL, JJ DATE : 19th August 2024.
P.C. :
1. The learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 5 to 8 submits that respondent nos. 5 and 7 are legal entities. The respondent no.6 is present in the Court today. Since the respondent no.8 is unwell, his son is present in the Court today. It is further submitted that efforts are being taken to make the necessary payments to the petitioners in these Contempt Petitions. He, therefore, requests that framing of the charge be deferred to enable the dues of the petitioners to be paid.
2. Only by way of an indulgence, the framing of charge against the respondent nos.5 to 8 is deferred for a period of three weeks.
3. Stand over to 9th September 2024 along with Writ Petition (St.)
