HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1189 of 2009 Date : 30.10.2009 Between : K.Ramakrishna Sarma & another. …..Petitioners And M.Veera Bhadraiah, Secretary, Department of Revenue (Endowments), Government of Andhra Pradesh & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1189 of 2009 ORDER : This contempt case is filed, alleging that the respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in its orders dated 26th September 2006, passed in Writ Petition No.20096 of 2006. 2. In the aforesaid order, this Court directed the respondents to continue the petitioners in service if they were in service as on the date of passing of the said order and continue to pay the salary at the rate of Rs.3,000/- per month to each of them, as fixed in the proceedings dated 09.05.2006. 3. Pursuant to the Notice issued by this Court, respondents have produced a copy of the order, dated 17.09.2009, passed in Proceedings Rc.No.A1/786/2005, wherein the claim of the petitioners for continuance in service was examined and rejected by the Executive Officer of Srikalahastheeswara Swamyvari Devasthanam, Srikakalahasthi. On the last date of hearing on 09.10.2009, when it was observed by this Curt that petitioners were not in service as on the date of passing of the orders dated 26th September 2006, the learned counsel for petitioners took time to produce the material to show that they were in service as on the date of passing of the order dated 26th September 2006. In the order of the Executive Officer dated 17.09.2009, passed in Proceedings Rc.No.A1/786/2005, a clear finding is recorded that the petitioners were not in service as on the date of passing of orders dated 26th September 2006. 4. As much as the order passed by this Court is a conditional one and as it is found that the petitioners were not in service as on the date of passing of the said orders, there is no basis in the allegation of the petitioners that the respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in the said order. 5. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in this contempt case and it is accordingly dismissed. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th October 2009 ajr
