THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1826 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.15959 of 2007 stating that in spite of repeated representations made by her, the respondent did not construct a drain in front of her house to avoid stagnation of water. After hearing both the parties, the writ petition was disposed of on 01.06.2010 directing that the respondent shall indicate the cost of construction for the drain in front of the house of the petitioner within four weeks and that the petitioner in turn shall deposit the amount within two weeks thereafter. The construction was directed to be completed within two months. This contempt case is filed stating that though the petitioner has deposited the sum indicated by the respondent within the stipulated time, the work was not executed. The respondent filed a counter-affidavit. It is stated that the petitioner deposited the estimated amount. It is, however, stated that though tender notice was issued twice, no Contractor has turn up and efforts are being made once again. It is also stated that in case no Contractor turns up in response to third tender, work would be executed departmentally. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner is under the impression that the respondent did not initiate steps after she deposited the amount. The record, however, discloses that twice tender notices were issued, but there was no response. In all fairness, the respondent has stated that in case no Contractor comes forward, the work would be executed departmentally. If there is any delay in this regard, it shall be open to the petitioner to identify a registered Contractor for execution of the work and in such an event, the respondent shall be under obligation to entrust the work. This exercise shall be completed within a period of two months from today. The contempt case is accordingly closed. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:21.07.2011 kdl
