THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1858 of 2010 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in order, dated 30.12.2009 passed in Writ Petition No.28445 of 2009. Petitioner is a Company registered under the Companies Act, 1956. On behalf of the petitioner company, a notice was issued through its advocate on 09.10.2009 to conduct survey and demarcate the land to an extent of Acs.128.32 cents covered by various survey numbers situated at Raviguntapalli Village, Rapur Mandal, SPSR Nellore District. This Court by order, dated 30.12.2009, without expressing any opinion on merits, directed the respondents to consider notice, dated 09.10.2009, which was issued on behalf of the petitioner company, and to pass appropriate orders. In the Contempt Case, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of such a direction by this Court, the respondents have not taken any action and thus, they have willfully and deliberately violated the directions issued by this Court. A detailed counter-affidavit is filed by the third respondent - Tahsildar, Rapur Mandal, SPSR Nellore District. In the said counter-affidavit, while denying various allegations of the petitioner, it is stated that immediately after receipt of the notice issued by the petitioner company, the survey work was not taken up due to official works, namely, Census, distribution of land to the landless poor persons under the land distribution programme etc., but later on, a notice was issued on 09.06.2010 to the petitioners to attend the survey work on 24.07.2010. Thereafter, the survey was conducted and it was found that some third parties are in possession of the land, which is claimed by the petitioner. The same was also notified to the petitioner company vide Office proceedings Rc.B.191/2010, dated 25.07.2010. It is to be noticed that this Court merely directed the respondents to consider the notice issued by the petitioner. Although it is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the respondents have not fixed the boundaries, there was no direction issued by this Court for fixation of boundaries. In view of the survey work undertaken by the respondents and information was furnished to the petitioner company vide letter, dated 25.07.2010, it cannot be said that there is a deliberate violation of the directions issued by this Court. If it is aggrieved by the survey report, it is open for the petitioner to question the same in appropriate proceedings but it cannot be said that the respondents have committed contempt. Granting liberty to the petitioner company to question the survey report, the Contempt Case is dismissed. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 19th APRIL, 2011. kvni
