THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Contempt Case No.1593 of 2010 Dated 11th April, 2011 Between: Sree Rama Murthy and others …Petitioners And The Chief Executive Officer, A.P.State Wakf Board, Hyderabad and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri Suresh Kumar Reddy Kalava Counsel for respondent No.1: Sri Safath Ahmed Khan Counsel for respondent No.2: Sri M.Satyanarayana Goud Counsel for respondent No.3: Sri Palle Nageswara Rao Counsel for respondent No.4: AGP for Revenue Counsel for respondent No.7: AGP for Home The Court made the following: ORDER: This contempt case is filed alleging wilful disobedience of order, dated 22.10.2010, in W.P.No.26120 of 2010. By the said order, this Court directed the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners with respect to the properties in their occupation without following due process of law. The respondents have pleaded that the petitioners are not in possession of the lands in question. While construing the above order of this Court as recognising the petitioners’ possession, the learned Judge, who disposed of W.V.M.P.Nos.5188, 5560 and 5694 of 2010, in W.P.No.26120 of 2010, on 22.03.2011, observed that the petitioners failed to place any evidence before this Court that they are presently in occupation of the lands and accordingly, the interim order, dated 22.10.2010, was modified by directing that status quo shall be maintained by all the parties with respect to possession of the property in question. In the light of the finding of the learned Judge that the petitioners failed to show that they are in possession, the very premise on which the contempt case is filed that the respondents are interfering with the possession of the petitioners of the land in question cannot be sustained. Therefore, I do not find any merit in this contempt case and the same is accordingly dismissed. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 11th April, 2011 VGB
