THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.604 of 2010 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondent has violated the directions issued by this Court in order, dated 15.12.2009 passed in WPMP.No.35464 of 2009 in Writ Petition No.27233 of 2009. This Court by the aforesaid order, issued directions to the respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation, dated 24.10.2009 seeking to provide a certified copy of panchanama, dated 27.03.2003 with reference to land bearing plot No.82 in Survey No.9 (66/14 old) situated at Rock Town, Mansoorabad Village, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. In this Contempt Case, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of such a direction, the respondent has not considered his representation to provide certified copy of panchanama, dated 27.03.2003. A detailed counter-affidavit is filed by the respondent - Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. In the counter-affidavit, while denying various allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that there was no such panchanama available in the Record Section of the respondent’s Office and that the respondent also has not conducted such panchanama. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner produced before this Court a xerox copy of panchanama. A perusal of it indicates that the Surveyor of the Tahsildar Office, Saroornagar Mandal, drafted it and the respondent is not the signatory to It. Further, when it is stated that there is no such file at all in the Office of the respondent and no entries are there in the Distribution Register, it cannot be said that there is willful and deliberate violation on the part of the respondent in not providing certified copy of the panchanama as prayed for by the petitioner in his representation, dated 24.10.2009, so as to initiate proceedings under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. In that view of the matter, the Contempt Case is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 27th JUNE, 2011. kvni
