THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY C.C. No.868 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.18918 of 2008 before this Court, complaining that the respondents have not ensured the restoration of the possession of the land, that was endowed in favour of the Temple. In W.P.M.P.No.24631 of 2008, this Court passed an order on 16-09-2008, issuing certain directions to the respondents for restoration of the land and for grant of fresh leases, as the case may be. This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have not complied with the directions. A counter-affidavit and additional counter-affidavit are filed by the 6th respondent. It is stated that steps were taken for restoration of possession of the land, and on account of non-cooperation of the managing trustee, further progress could not be made. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. With a view to ensure the protection and restoration of the landed property, that was endowed to the Temple, this Court issued certain directions. It is not as if the respondents remained indifferent. The details of the steps taken by them are furnished in the counter-affidavit and additional counter-affidavit. It is rather surprising that the Chairman of the Trust Board, who moved this Court, has not cooperated with the officials. Having remained indifferent, he cannot complain of, acts of contempt against the respondents. The authorities of the Endowments and Revenue Departments shall endeavour to continue the steps, that are indicated in the counter affidavits. The Contempt Case is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.20-10-2010 KO
