The impugned order is stayed,&#8221; the HC had said on August 4.<\/p>\n<p>However, on August 26 the court was informed by the petitioners that despite this order, the Lokayukta was passing orders in the matter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are shocked with this behaviour. Doesn&#8217;t the Lokayukta chief realise that he is subordinate to the High Court? This is contemptuous. We will issue contempt against him. How can he (Lokayukta) hear and pass orders in a matter that has been stayed by us,&#8221; Justice Kanade said.<\/p>\n<p>The court adjourned the petition for further hearing till September 1 and said, &#8220;We are repeating that till this petition is pending, all proceedings pertaining to this matter before the Lokayukta are stayed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court has expressed shock over the arbitrary manner in which Maharashtra Lokayukta was functioning and warned its chief with a contempt notice if it fails to comply with the court&#8217;s orders.
