IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Friday, the 12th day of November Two Thousand and Nine PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CONTEMPT CASE No.864 of 2010 Between: M/s.R.R.Constructions … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh and others … Respondents This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CONTEMPT CASE No.864 OF 2010 ORDER:- This Court while ordering notice before admission in W.P.No.1733 of 2001 passed an order on 02.02.2010, staying recovery of seignorage charges on sand with one time penalty from the bills and deposits payable to the petitioner herein in L.R.No.925/SAND/2007, dated 05.01.2010, of the 4th respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that when the said order was passed on 02.02.2010, the respondents did not implement the said order and collected the amounts with one time penalty and hence he approached this Court by filing the present contempt case. On notice, the respondents filed a detailed counter stating that they received the copy of the order in the said W.P. only on 17.05.2010 and immediately after receipt of the said order they stopped collecting the said one time penalty as directed by this court and they are collecting only seignorage fee. As the writ petition is pending and as it is the grievance of the petitioner that he paid the said penalty in addition to the seignorage charges for the period from 02.02.2010 to 17.05.2010, in my view, this contempt case can be disposed of with a direction to the respondent authorities to adjust the said amounts, which have been paid during the said period i.e., from 02.02.2010 to 17.05.2010 after disposal of the writ petition towards seignorage charges. With the above direction, the Contempt Case is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 12th November 2010 lmv
