THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CONTEMPT CASE No.1057 of 2009 ORDER: The interim order of this Court, in WPMP.No.37942 of 2008 in Writ Petition No.29028 of 2008 dated 31.12.2008, required the respondents not to assign land, admeasuring Ac.0.40 cents in R.S.No.921/1A of Darsiparru Village, Pentapadu Mandal, West Godavari District, for house sites under the Indiramma Scheme, pending further orders. The allegation in the affidavit filed in support of the Contempt Case is that the aforesaid order of this Court has been violated. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that much prior to the order of this Court, the respondents had issued enjoyment certificates to 14 beneficiaries belonging to the Scheduled Castes and that there has been no assignment of land till date. It is further stated that no pattas have been issued and that status quo with regards the nature of the land is being maintained. As the order of this Court required the respondents not to assign land and it is evident from the counter-affidavit that the land has not been assigned, the respondents cannot be said to have violated the order of this Court, much less, willfully and deliberately. I see no reason therefore, to proceed against the respondents herein for contempt of court. The contempt case is accordingly, dismissed. ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J 18th NOVEMBER, 2009. kvni
