THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.816 of 2011 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed under Sections 10 to 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 alleging willful violation of order, dated 21.02.2011 passed by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.3277 of 2011 in Writ Petition No.2643 of 2011. Petitioner is a high school. It had applied for issuance of no objection certificate so as to seek affiliation to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi. Earlier, the first respondent issued proceedings, dated 07.08.2010 in Rc.No.424/E1-2/2010, noticing certain defects. Reporting that the defects were already complied, the petitioner addressed letter, dated 18.08.2010 to the first respondent. This Court by order, dated 21.02.2011 passed in W.P.M.P.No.3277 of 2011 in Writ Petition No.2643 of 2011, directed the respondents to consider and take appropriate steps in the matter. In this Contempt Case, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of such a direction, the respondents have not taken steps. When the matter is taken up, learned Government Pleader for Education appearing for the respondents produced before this Court a copy of proceedings, dated 28.10.2011 issued in Rc.No.4830/A7/A5/2010, by which, the second respondent - District Educational Officer, Hyderabad, refused to consider the request of the petitioner, by giving reasons. Though it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the said reasons are assigned only for the purpose of circumventing the contempt proceedings, this Court is not inclined to accept the same as this Court has not issued any positive direction in the impugned order but merely directed the respondents to consider the matter. For the aforesaid reasons, it cannot be said that there is willful violation on the part of the respondents, attracting the provisions under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. However, as this Court has not expressed any opinion on the validity of proceedings, dated 28.10.2011 issued in Rc.No.4830/A7/A5/2010, the petitioner is at liberty to question the same by way of separate Writ Petition. Subject to the above observation, the Contempt Case is disposed of. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 14th NOVEMBER, 2011. kvni
