PETITIONERS AND State of Andhra Pradesh, rep., by its Principal Secretary, Municipal Administration and Urban Development, A.P Secretariat, Hyderabad and three others ... RESPONDENTS HON'BLE SRI ANIL R. DAVE, THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No. 1348 OF 2008 ORDER: (Per Sri Anil R. Dave, CJ) Heard the learned advocates. 2. There are some petitioners who have voluntarily given their consent for handing over possession of their lands under land acquisition proceedings. 3. In the circumstances, it cannot be said that the order dated 30-08-2007 passed in WPMP No. 23072 of 2007 in Writ Petition No. 17991 of 2007 has been violated. We do not find any substance in the contempt case and, therefore, the same is closed. 4. It has been submitted by the learned advocates appearing for the parties that Writ Petition No. 17991 of 2007 is in the nature of public interest litigation. The land in question is required for the purpose of construction of a road. Ad interim relief has been granted in favour of the petitioners and thereby, a portion of the road has not been constructed so far. 5. In the circumstances, the Bench taking up such matters is requested to give priority to hearing of Writ Petition No. 17991 of 2007. 6. Writ Petition No. 17991 o 2007 be notified before the Court taking up such matters under the caption ‘for orders’ on 26-08-2009 so that the Court can look into the facts of the petition and pass an appropriate order.
