In the counter affidavit filed by the respondent, it is inter alia stated that the order of this Court was received on 14.03.2011, that thereafter the then Collector has issued notice on 17.03.2011 fixing 26.03.2011 as the hearing date and that hearing could not take place on that day because of the administrative work of the Collector. It is further averred that the respondent has taken charge as Collector on 13.04.2011 and immediately he has got issued notices fixing 16.05.2011 as the hearing date (obviously the date 16.04.2011 is wrongly mentioned). It is further stated that after hearing the case finally, order was passed on 28.11.2011 dismissing the revision and that the petitioner, who evaded the service of order, filed the present contempt case on 12.12.2011. The respondent explained the delay in passing the order. Having regard to the fact that the respondent has complied with the order of this Court though belatedly for which he has given his explanation, the contempt case is closed with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy, if she feels aggrieved by order, dated 28.11.2011. As a sequel, contempt application No.1084 of 2011 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 30.12.2011 ES
