HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1881 of 2010 Date : 07.06.2011 Between : M/s.Babu Enterprises, Nellore, rep. by its Proprietor. …..Petitioner And J.Satyanarayana, Principal Secretary, Revenue Department & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1881 of 2010 ORDER: This contempt case is filed alleging that respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in the order, dated 20.08.2010, passed in W.P.No.19889 of 2010. By the aforesaid order, this Court directed the 3rd respondent to consider the application of the petitioner filed on 16th January 2010 for survey and fixation of boundaries of the land covered by the lease in his favour. Though it is the case of the petitioner that inspite of such a direction no steps have been taken by the respondents, from the detailed counter affidavit filed by the Tahsildar, Chimakurthy Mandal, it is clear that respondents have taken steps to implement the order of this Court. From the counter affidavit, it is evident that the Mandal Surveyor went to the field on 23rd of January 2011 to carry out the survey operation in the presence of the petitioner and other adjoining land owners, but as there were no ridges in the land claimed by the petitioner, the surveyor could not conduct the further survey, and he has also informed the petitioner to that effect. Although it is submitted that boundaries are not fixed to the petitioner’s land in compliance of the directions issued by this Court, as the respondents have taken steps to conduct survey, but could not complete it as there were no ridges in the land, and as the adjoining land owners have raised disputes, it cannot be said that the respondents have violated the directions of this Court. For the aforesaid reasons, the contempt case is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed, keeping it open to the petitioner to avail the remedies available under law. No costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 7th June 2011 ajr
