THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO CONTEMPT CASE No.228 of 2011 November 25, 2011 Between: M.Venkata Narasaiah, S/o.Somaiah And others ... Petitioners And Sri Venugopal Reddy, Revenue Divisional Officer, Sri Potti Sreeramulu Nellore District ...Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO CONTEMPT CASE No.228 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners ﬁled W.P.No.26629 of 2008 seeking a writ of mandamus declaring inaction of the respondents to provide house site pattas to them as per rehabilitation scheme as illegal and for consequential direction to provide pattas at KRR Centre in S.No.2173/1 and 2174/1 of Kothuru Village of Nellore Rural Mandal. Before approaching this Court, the petitioners also made a representation on 10.11.2008 to the respondent. Having due regard to this aspect of the matter, this Court disposed of the writ petition on 15.12.2008 directing the respondent herein to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders. Now the petitioners allege that in spite of approaching the respondent by submitting representation, the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer respondent has not passed any orders. A counter aﬃdavit is ﬁled. In sum and substance it is the case of the respondent that the petitioners’ lands were acquired for construction of “Kandaleru Reservoir” under Telugu Ganga Project after paying compensation. In addition to the same, as per the orders in G.O.Ms.No.30, dated 15.2.1994 they were provided house site pattas under rehabilitation scheme at Gonupalli village of Rapur Mandal but they have not constructed houses. Indeed it is the case of the respondent that even before the petitioners ﬁled the writ petition referred to hereinabove house site pattas were allotted under the rehabilitation scheme. This Court heard the Counsel for the petitioners and the Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment). As rightly pointed by their Counsel, the petitioners approached this Court seeking a direction for allotment of house site pattas at Kothuru Village near Nellore whereas the house site pattas were allotted to them at Gonupalli village, which appears to be at a distance of about 40 KMs. Be that as it is, the Assistant Government Pleader has placed before this Court a copy of the proceedings of the respondent in Rc.J.800/2011, dated 21.4.2011 whereby and whereunder the representation of petitioners for grant of house site pattas at Kothuru village was rejected on the ground that all the petitioners were allotted house site pattas at Gonupalli village and ﬁnancial assistance of Rs.10,000/- each was granted and paid to each of them towards ﬁrst instalment but they failed to construct houses. As the respondent has already passed orders on 21.4.2011 the petitioners, if so aggrieved, can challenge the same in separate proceedings. In that background, the respondent cannot be said to have committed any contempt. The contempt case, giving liberty to the petitioners to challenge the proceedings of the respondent, is dismissed. ________________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) November 25, 2011 YS
