THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1184 of 2010 Dated 20th August, 2010 Between: Asma Kaleemulla and others. …Petitioners And Raghu Ram Sharma. …Respondent Counsel for the petitioners: Sri Srinivas Choudhary Counsel for respondent: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging willful disobedience of the order dated 09.06.2008 passed in W.P.M.P.No.28320 of 2004 in W.P.No.21610 of 2004. The petitioners herein filed the above writ petition questioning the proposed demolition of the structures situated in premises bearing Nos. 8-2-684/3/9/F, 7/F and 8/F of Mustafanagar slum, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. By order dated 29.12.2004, this Court directed status quo to be maintained. The said order was made absolute by order dated 09.06.2008, wherein it was specifically observed that having regard to the fact that the threatened action relates to demolition, this Court found balance of convenience in continuing the interim order of status quo. In the affidavit filed in support of the contempt case, the petitioners have alleged that on 03.07.2010, when petitioner No.1 visited the property in question, the respondents were found to have erected a hoarding saying that it is a Government land and that the trespassers will be prosecuted. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the abovementioned action of the respondents is in violation of the order of status quo granted by this Court. In my opinion, the order of status quo was confined to the proposed action of demolition of the structures. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioners that the respondents are seeking to demolish the structures contrary to the said order. Therefore, I do not find any merit in the plea of the petitioners that by erecting a signboard, the respondents have violated the order passed by this Court referred to above. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to avail appropriate remedy against the abovementioned action of the respondents in erecting signboard. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 20th August, 2010 Note: Issue CC in three days.
