THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Contempt Case No.243 of 2010 ORDER: This contempt case is filed alleging wilful disobedience of the orders of this Court, dated 17.08.2009, passed in W.P.No.10183 of 2009. One M.Narsa Goud, Sarpanch of Gambhirraopet, Karimnagar District, filed W.P.No.10183 of 2009 questioning the action of the Government in issuing G.O.Rt.No.632, dated 19.03.2009, extending the period of his suspension by three more months. This Court, through its order, dated 17.08.2009, disposed of the said writ petition directing the respondents therein to consider the explanation said to have been submitted by the writ petitioner to the show cause notice and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the said order. Alleging violation of the said orders, dated 17.08.2009, the present contempt case is filed by a third party stating that based on the complaints given by him and other villagers about the misappropriation committed by the writ petitioner, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him resulting in his suspension and contending that in spite of specific directions of this Court, the first respondent, namely, the Collector (PW), Karimnagar, is deliberately not passing any orders, even though the writ petitioner submitted his explanation. When the matter was taken up for consideration on 22.10.2009, it was represented by the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj that in compliance of the orders of this Court, non-compliance of which is complained in this contempt case, proceedings, dated 15.09.2009, were issued by the Collector (PW), Karimnagar, dropping the action proposed against the writ petitioner, but imposing the punishment of withdrawal of cheque power. However, it was represented by the learned counsel for the contempt petitioner that in spite of the proceedings, dated 15.09.2009, the writ petitioner has withdrawn a sum of Rs.44,000/-. Thereafter, though a counter has been filed by the Collector, Karimnagar, the first respondent herein, contending that he has not committed any contempt, unfortunately nowhere in the counter, he explained as to how the writ petitioner could withdraw the amounts, even after issuing proceedings, dated 15.09.2009. Therefore, he was directed to appear in-person before this Court on 23.12.2009, along with record. Pursuant thereto, the first respondent appeared in-person before this Court and submitted that the proceedings, dated 15.09.2009, were communicated to the District Panchayat Officer, Karimnagar on 16.09.2009, but for more than a month, the said order was not communicated to the Gambhiraopet Gram Panchayat and due to non-communication of the said proceedings, the writ petitioner had withdrawn the amounts. That enquiry has already been initiated for taking appropriate action against the Officers concerned and sought time to submit a report. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj produced a copy of the proceedings, dated 07.02.2010, issued by the Collector (PW), Karimnagar, whereby and whereunder, writ petitioner was kept under suspension for illegally withdrawing the amounts to the tune of Rs.1,56,277/- without maintaining proper records. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that questioning the action of the Collector in dropping the action proposed against the writ petitioner under Section 249(1) of A.P.Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, the contempt petitioner has already filed a writ petition. In view of the above stated facts, this Court is of the considered opinion that no further orders are necessary in this contempt case. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:09.02.2010 VGB
