THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.207 of 2010 ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have violated the interim order passed by this Court on 02.02.2009 in W.P.No.1416 of 2009. Through the said interim order, this Court suspended the proceedings in Rc.A/65/2008, dated 16.04.2008. In addition to that, the Tahsildar was directed to explain as to why specific directions were not issued in discharge of her functions. The petitioners contend that, despite the interim order, the Tahsildar is interfering with their possession over the land. The present Tahsildar has filed a counter-affidavit denying the allegations and he stated that he is not at all interfering with the possession. During the course of hearing, it emerged that Smt.Koteswaramma, who functioned as Tahsildar at one point of time, has made certain endorsements, which are derogatory and constitute contempt, and accordingly, notice was issued to her. She filed an affidavit tendering unconditional apology and stated that she made the endorsements, on account of her ignorance and lack of proper knowledge. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader Assignment. This Court mentioned certain reasons before the interim order was granted. Serious exceptions were taken to the manner in which the powers were exercised in the name of resumption of assigned lands. As long as the interim order is in force, the respondents cannot interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioners over the land. Today, the former and the present Tahsildars have appeared, tendered unconditional apology and have undertaken not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners over the land. Accepting the same, the Contempt Case is closed. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.04.06.2010. GJ
