THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.590 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.6534 of 2009 complaining that an application made by him before the Tahsildar, Shameerpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, respondent No.2 herein, for validation of unregistered, document, dated 21.09.1967, has not been considered. The writ petition was disposed of on 01.04.2009, directing respondent No.2 to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner under Section 5-A of the A.P. Records of Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. This contempt case is filed alleging that respondent No.2 did not comply with the orders of this Court. Respondent No.2 filed a counter-affidavit stating that she passed an order on 24.04.2010 rejecting the application of the petitioner. A copy of the same is enclosed. The circumstances under which the delay occurred have been explained. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It is, no doubt, true that this Court fixed two months time for respondent No.2 to pass orders on the application of the petitioner. In the counter-affidavit, respondent No.2 stated the nature of correspondence that ensued between her and the District Collector, Ranga Reddy. It was only on 15.04.2010 that respondent No.1 issued instructions. Soon thereafter, respondent No.2 passed the order. Hence, it cannot be said that there is any contempt on the part of respondent No.2. The contempt case is accordingly closed. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 29.04.2010. kdl
