THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU C.C. No. 377 of 2009 O R D E R: This contempt case is filed complaining willful disobedience on the part of respondents in implementing the orders passed by this Court in WPMP No. 35207 of 2008 in W.P. No. 26884 of 2008 whereunder status quo obtaining as on that date was directed to be maintained by the parties for a period of two weeks. According to the petitioner, he is a Fair-Price Shop dealer of Somalaregada village, Dattaluru Mandal, Nellore District. Pursuant to the notification issued by respondents, he applied for appointment as Fair Price Shop Dealer and he was subjected to selection process and after selection he was appointed as such. However, prior to that, one P. Ramana Reddy was the Fair Price Shop Dealer of the present shop. Since his licence was suspended and the same was notified, petitioner was appointed. However, it is submitted that the said Ramana Reddy, respondent No.6 herein, carried the matter in revision before the District Collector, Nellore District. The District Collector, Nellore, after examination of the same, allowed the revision and directed the authorities to handover the shop in favour of the said Ramana Reddy. Pursuant to the order passed by the District Collector on 20.11.2008, the said Ramana Reddy was put in possession of the shop on 8.12.2008. However, it is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that it was only on paper the dates were manipulated but actual possession was not handed over as on the date of passing the interim order by this Court on 10.12.2008. Therefore, this contempt case. In the counter filed the respondents have asserted that the said Ramana Reddy filed revision before the District Collector, Nellore and the same was allowed on 20.11.2008 and pursuant to the same, on 8.12.2008 the licence held by Ramana Reddy was restored. Therefore, no contempt is committed. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that the respondents have not committed any contempt of Court orders. Therefore, the contempt case is devoid of merit and liable to be dismissed and accordingly dismissed. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 27-9-2010. MVB.
