THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24326 of 2008 ORDER: The land, to an extent of 35 cents belonging to the petitioner was taken over by the Anantapur Municipal Corporation, and a meagre compensation was paid therefor. Petitioner filed W.P.No.24963 of 2000. The writ petition was disposed of, on 24-07-2007, directing that the petitioner be compensated to the extent of 18 cents, in the form of land, and monetary compensation for the balance of 17 cents. Alleging that the action taken by the respondents does not accord with the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.24963 of 2000, the petitioner filed C.C.No.1099 of 2007. In pursuance of an order passed on 15-11-2007, in the contempt case, the respondents passed an order dated 09-02-2008, through which, an extent of 18 cents of land was given and a sum of Rs.1,56,370/- was paid, towards compensation for 17 cents. Subsequently, certain developments have taken place. Thereafter, the Contempt Case was closed, on 18-07- 2008, taking note of the fact that a sum of Rs.8 lakhs was paid as compensation. Certain directions were also issued, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out the remedies, if any grievance subsists. This writ petition is filed assailing the proceedings dated 09-02-2008. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the Municipal Corporation. It has already been pointed out that the impugned proceedings dated 09-02-2008 were issued, in pursuance of the orders dated 15- 11-2007, in C.C.No.1099 of 2007. It was much thereafter, that the Contempt Case was closed. Though a sum of Rs.1,56,370/- was paid through the impugned proceedings, by the time the contempt case was closed, Rs.8 lakhs was paid. In view of these developments, it cannot be said that the petitioner can independently challenge the proceedings dated 09-02-2008. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, however, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail such remedies, as are indicated in the order in C.C.No.1099 of 2007. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ Dt.06-11-2008. L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. KO
