IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE Nos.657 and 685 of 2010 Between: Sri Mudundi Konda Raju … Petitioner (in CC.No.657 of 2010) Sri Saniyala Buddudu … Petitioner (in CC.No.685 of 2010) And Sri C. Sammireddy, Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (Vigilance), Aranya Bhavan, Hyderabad. … Respondent (in both cases) Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri S. Rajan Counsel for the respondent: GP for Forests. The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE Nos.657 and 685 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: In these two contempt cases the petitioners alleged willful disobedience of order dated 29.01.2008 passed in the respective writ petitions. In response to the notice issued by this Court, the respondent, who is the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Vigilance), filed detailed counter affidavits explaining the reasons for his visit along with his team to the land in question. At the hearing, Sri S. Rajan, learned counsel for the petitioners, submitted that the serious allegations made in the counter affidavits are being disputed by the petitioners and that they would like to file reply affidavits to meet these allegations. In my opinion, it is not necessary for this Court to delve into the correctness or otherwise of the allegations contained in the counter affidavits. Therefore, it is not necessary for the petitioners to file reply affidavits in these contempt cases. In the light of the stand taken by the respondent in the counter affidavits that for verification of the correctness or otherwise of the report submitted by the Chief Conservator of Forests, Visakhapatnam, he made a visit along with his team to the land in question and that he never had any intention to violate the order of status quo granted by this Court, both the contempt cases are closed. Parties are, however, left free to get the disputes resolved through appropriate Court of law. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 15.06.2010. ES
