Holding
The contempt petition is disposed of for non-prosecution.
Summary
The petitioner filed a contempt petition in 2013 seeking rental compensation from Respondent No.2, who was later transferred and the notices remained unserved. No further action was taken by the petitioner, and the respondent claimed compliance with the contempt order by the time of the hearing. The court observed that the petitioner appeared uninterested in prosecuting the contempt. Consequently, the court held that the petition should be disposed of for non-prosecution. The petition was therefore dismissed without any further orders.

Per Court:
. None for the petitioner.
2. Notices were issued in this petition in the year 2013, which
remained unserved, as the respondent No.2 was transferred to
Kannad. Thereafter, no steps have been taken in this contempt
petition.
3. By way of order under contempt, the rental compensation
was to be determined by the respondent No. 2. The learned AGP
states that the demand was raised on 18.06.2013 with the Deputy
Commissioner, AGS, Aurangabad. The petitioner has not circulated
the petition thereafter. By this time, the order under contempt
must have been complied with and petitioner must have received
rental compensation.
2 912 CONTEMPT PETITION NO. 278 OF 2013
4. In view of the same, it seems that the petitioner is not
interested in prosecuting the contempt. Hence, the contempt
petition stands disposed of for non prosecution.
