THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.287 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.23245 of 2002 before this Court with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the representation, dated 29.09.2002, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Through the said representation, the petitioner requested the respondents to acquire the land admeasuring about Acs.12.00 in Survey Nos.3/2, 4/4 and 5/4 of Penubarthy Gopasamudram Village, Rapur Mandal, Nellore District. The writ petition was disposed of on 26.12.2008 directing the respondents to pass orders on the representation, dated 29.09.2002, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondents did not comply with the directions issued by this Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Irrigation. The petitioner is under the impression that the respondents did not take steps at all in pursuance of the directions issued by this Court. The fact, however, remains that the Superintending Engineer, S.S.L.C & S.B. Circle addressed a letter, dated 06.08.2009, pointing out the reasons, on account of which, the request of the petitioner cannot be acceded to. If the petitioner is not satisfied with the letter, dated 06.08.2009, he has to initiate separate proceedings. Hence, the contempt case is closed, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue his remedies in accordance with law. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:02.06.2010. kdl
