HON'BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI Contempt Case No.1311 of 2010 8th September, 2010 Between :- Malladi Somasekhara Rao .. Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, West Godavari District, Eluru And others .. Respondents HON'BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI Contempt Case No.1311 of 2010 ORDER:- This Contempt Case is filed alleging violation of the Order dated 22-9-2008 in W.P.No.19437/2008 which reads as under:- “This Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondent Nos.1 and 2 in not providing police protection in respect of the petitioner’s land to an extent of Ac.11.88 cents situated in R.S.No.49/1, 2, 3, of Mulagalmpalli village, Jeelugumill Mandal, West Godavari District, which is a notified schedule area, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner also relies upon a report dated 26-9-2007 issued by the Tahsildar, Jeelugumill, with regard to the title in respect of the land in question. The learned Government Pleader for Home, under instructions, stated that the respondents are ready to provide protection as and when such a request is made by the petitioner. Accordingly recording the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to take appropriate action in accordance with law as and when a request is made by the petitioner for police protection. No order as to costs.” It is alleged that inspite of the said order, the petitioner was arrested and taken into judicial custody and the said action of the respondents amounts to willful disobedience to the order of this Court. Even assuming that the action of the 2nd respondent in arresting the petitioner was erroneous on any ground, whatsoever, it is for the petitioner to avail the appropriate remedy available under law before the proper forum. As the order in W.P.No.19437/2008 did not restrain the respondents from arresting the petitioner, in my considered opinion, this is not a fit case for taking cognizance under the Contempt of Courts Act. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed. ___________________ G.ROHINI, J 8th September, 2010 smr
