No.28838 of 2008 alleges violation of the order dated 19-10-2009 passed therein directing disposal of his application dated 17-12-2008 within a time frame. 2. The Tahsildar, N.P. Kunta Mandal, Anantapur District, third respondent in the contempt case, filed his counter stating that the order passed by this Court in W.P. No.28838 of 2008 was received on 09- 12-2009 and pursuant to the direction of this Court therein, a notice was issued to the petitioner on 16-12-2009 calling upon him to produce relevant documents in support of his title over the subject land. After consideration of the matter, it is stated that the petitioner’s application was rejected under proceedings in Rc.No.44/2010/A dated 23-3-2010. 3. Though there is some delay in the disposal of the petitioner’s application in the context of the time frame stipulated by this Court, there is no evidence of any wilful disobedience to the said order warranting exercise of contempt jurisdiction by this Court. 4. Further, in the event the petitioner is aggrieved by the rejection of his application under the proceedings dated 23-3-2010, he would necessarily have to assail the same in accordance with law by way of an independent proceeding and cannot make it the subject matter of enquiry in this contempt case. 5. Viewed thus, there is no wilful disobedience to the order dated 19-10-2009 in W.P. No.28838 of 2008 passed by this Court. The contempt case is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: March 16, 2011. BSB
