THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.1841 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.9425 of 2008 challenging the proceedings dated 30.08.2007 issued by the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests refusing to restore the benefit under G.O.Rt.No.24, dated 09.02.2004 to the petitioner. The writ petition was allowed through order, dated 07.04.2009 holding that the petitioner shall be entitled to purchase the balance quantity of 68 Metric Tonnes of Red Sanders at the present market value to be stipulated by the Government. Time was also fixed for communication of the rate etc. The petitioner filed this contempt case alleging that the directions issued by this Court were not complied with. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Forests. It appears that there was enormous delay on account of the correspondence between various authorities of the Government in the Forest Department. Learned Government Pleader has placed before this Court a copy of G.O.Rt.No.71 dated 08.02.2010, through which the petitioner was allotted 68 Metric Tonnes of Non Grade Red Sander Wood at the rate of Rs.2,19,998 per Metric Tonne, subject to the same conditions that were imposed in G.O.Rt.No.24, dated 09.02.2004. It appears that the parties were not aware of this order and contempt proceedings continued quite for some time. The contempt case is accordingly closed. __________ 06.09.2010 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.1841 of 2009 Date: 06.09.2010 JSU
