By its President Kakuluri Vani ..... APPELLANT AND The District Collector (Housing). Rangareddy District and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : COMMON JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble Smt. Justice T.Meena Kumari) Since both the Contempt Case and the Writ Appeal are interconnected and the parties thereto are one and the same, they are heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment. The above Writ Appeal is directed against the order dated 19.03.2009 passed by a learned Single Judge in W.P. No. 2848 of 2009 dismissing the writ petition which sought a mandamus to declare the inaction on the part of the respondents in not depositing the amount pertaining to the houses sanctioned to the beneficiaries of Manchanpalli village, Pudur Mandal, Rangareddy District under Indiramma Housing Scheme, Phase-III as illegal and arbitrary and to direct the respondents to deposit the amounts into the petitioners’ account No. 62090396673 of the State Bank of Hyderabad, Pargi Branch so as to enable it to distribute the same to the beneficiaries to complete the construction of houses sanctioned under the said scheme. This court by order dated 03.07.2009 passed in W.A.M.P. No. 1546 of 2009 in W.A.No.798 of 2009 while admitting the writ appeal granted interim direction directing the respondents herein to deposit the amounts into the petitioners’ Sangham, Account No. 62090396673 of the State Bank of Hyderabad, Pargi Branch so as to enable it to distribute the same to the beneficiaries of Indiramma Housing Scheme Phase – II, to complete the construction of houses at Manchanpally village, Pudur Mandal, Rangareddy District. The appellant complaining non-compliance and willful flouting of the above interim order, filed the present Contempt Case. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant, learned Government Pleader for Panchayath Raj and Rural Development and Mr. P.Udaya Bhaskar Rao for the A.P. State Housing Corporation. When the Writ Appeal and the Contempt Case are taken up for hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Panchayath Raj and Rural Development on instructions submits that the Government has issued GO Ms.No. 33 Housing (RH.A1) Department dated 29.10.2009, whereby permission is accorded to the Managing Director, A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited to disburse Indiramma Housing Payments to the beneficiaries through Post Offices to those beneficiaries who are not having Accounts in the Bank, as per the Memorandum of Understanding subject to the terms and conditions as detailed in the Annexure appended to the above said G.O. Clause (c) of the said annexure reads as under: The payment system currently being followed for banks shall be followed in the case of post offices also. The Dy. Executive Engineer shall give a consolidated cheque for all the beneficiaries of a mandal to the identified Post Master. The Post Master shall be responsible for the encashment of this cheque and disbursing cash through the Branch Post Offices located close to the habitation within (7) days. As can be seen from G.O. Ms. No. 33 Housing (RH.A1) Department dated 29.10.2009, the relief sought for by the appellant in the Writ Appeal and the petitioner in the above Contempt Case has been worked out. Therefore, there remains nothing either in the Writ Appeal or the Contempt Case to be adjudicated. Consequently, both the Writ Appeal and all the miscellaneous applications therein and the Contempt Case are closed. No order as to costs. ____________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari __________________ Justice Sanjay Kumar December 4, 2009 MAS.
