THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY And THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO C.C.NO. 622 of 2011 ORDER: ( per AGR,J) This contempt case is filed alleging wilful and deliberate disobedience of the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No.10386 of 2010 dated 21.05.2010 wherein the writ petition filed by the petitioners was allowed. Following the Full Bench judgment of this Court in MOHD. SIDDIQ ALI KHAN v M/S.SHAHSUN FINANCE LIMITED[1], this Court set aside the order passed by the Special Court under the provisions of A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982 taking cognizance of the case under Section 8(1) of the A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982 (for short ‘the Act’) as it was without following due procedure contemplated under Rule 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Rules, 1988 (for short ‘the Rules’) which is mandatory in nature. This Court also directed the Special Court to follow the mandatory procedure under Rule 6 of the Rules before taking cognizance of the case. After the order is passed by this Court on 21.05.2010, on the Special Court taking cognizance of the case and issuing notice to the petitioners, the present contempt case is filed alleging that mandatory procedure under Rule 6 has not been followed in spite of directions issued by this Court. It is not out of place to mention that after allowing the writ petition and remanding the matter to the Special Court, the Supreme Court in PESARA PUSHPAMALA REDDY v G.VEERASWAMY AND OTHERS[2] over ruled the judgment of this Court in Mohd. Siddiq Ali Khan’s case (1 supra) holding that before taking cognizance under Section 8(1) of the Act, it is not necessary to follow the procedure contemplated under Rule 6. In view of the same, the Special Court has not wilfully and deliberately disobeyed the orders passed by this Court. The Contempt Case is accordingly dismissed. No costs.
