THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE No.511 OF 2009 DATED: 10.03.2010 Between: Smt. Rudraraju Surya Prabhavathi … Petitioner And Sri K. Mohan Singh and 3 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI CONTEMPT CASE No.511 OF 2009 ORDER : This contempt case is filed alleging violation of the interim order passed by this Court dated 14.11.2008 in W.P.M.P.No.31237 of 2008 in W.P.No.23967 of 2008, whereunder the respondents were directed not to allot the road margins in question for house sites pending the writ petition. It is alleged in the contempt case that in spite of the said order passed by this Court, the 4th respondent was allowing third parties to occupy the land in question and the houses were raised to frustrate the order of this Court. It is also alleged that nearly 7 people have occupied the road margins and raised huts. In the counter-affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, the allegation has been categorically denied and it is stated that the respondents had never allowed any third party to occupy the land in question nor a lenient view was taken to support the 4th respondent. It is further stated that the Assistant Engineer had inspected the site and having observed two thatched huts in the disputed site instructed the encroachers to remove the huts and sheds, and immediately in turn a letter was also addressed to the Tahsildar for taking steps for removal of unauthorized occupations, keeping in view of the interim order passed by this Court. In the light of the material available on record, it is clear that no assignment as such was made by the official respondents. The only allegation is that the official respondents had failed to prevent the third parties from encroaching upon the road margins. At any rate, in the light of the counter-affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, the Superintending Engineer, Irrigation & CAD Department, Eluru, that necessary steps are being taken for removal of the encroachments, no further enquiry is necessary in this Contempt Case. Accordingly, recording the statement of the 1st respondent in his counter-affidavit, the Contempt Case is closed. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 10.03.2010 gbs
