The petitioner had sought initiation of contempt proceedings

against the Secretary of the NDMC on account of recovery of penal rent

and licence fee from the petitioner despite the inter order dated 24th

May, 2006 passed by this Court restraining NDMC to do that.

A reply has been filed on behalf of respondent's/ Secretary,

NDMC contending inter alia that the breach is on account of an

inadvertent error and on account of communication gap. The

respondent has tendered unconditional and unfettered apology for the

same to the court and it is also contended that the penal amount which

had been recovered from the petitioner has been remitted back to the

petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner admits that the amount for

penal rent and licence fee which was recovered from the petitioner has

been remitted back to the petitioner.

In view of the remittance of the penal rent and licence fee and

unconditional apology tendered by the respondent, no further action is

required. The notice of contempt issued to the respondent is

discharged.

The contempt petition is disposed of.
