THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.805 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners filed W.P.No.23347 of 2008 before this Court challenging the proceedings that arose under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. While admitting the writ petition, an interim order was passed by this Court on 22.01.2009 in WPMP No.30428 of 2008 directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from their properties covered by C.C.No.H2/10039/76. This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondent has locked certain shops that were existing in the said premises. The respondent filed a counter-affidavit denying the allegations. He has stated that he never directed for putting the locks to the premises. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondent. This Court incorporated certain reasons while granting interim direction. The order is in force. In case the respondent wants to dispossess the petitioners, they have to approach the Court with necessary application. It is brought to the notice of this Court that interim orders were not disturbed when the respondent filed W.V.M.P.No.1086 of 2009. Be that as it may, once the respondent filed counter-affidavit stating that he has not put the locks to the shops in the premises, the version of the petitioners cannot be accepted. If any person has put the locks to the shops in the premises, the petitioners can certainly remove the same and use the premises during the pendency of the writ petition subject to the same terms that were imposed by this Court in the interim order. The Contempt Case is accordingly closed. No costs. ___________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J Date: 23.12.2011 va
