HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1700 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: Petitioner filed Writ Petition No.22715 of 2010, challenging the acts and omissions on the part of the respondents in the matter of appointing him as Headmaster for limited context of discharge of powers by the Municipal Council under Section 74 of the A.P. Municipalities Act, 1965. The writ petition was entertained and an order was passed on 28-09-2010 directing that the matter relating to the appointment of the petitioner as Headmaster in the Schools established and managed by the Gudivada Municipality shall be placed before the panel committee within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondents failed to comply with the order. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. It was rather incidental that the term of the Municipal Council expired one day after this Court passed the order in the writ petition. That, in turn, ensued reconstitution of the Committee. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that the Special Officer of the Municipal Council went on election duty to the State of Bihar. With some delay, the respondents have since considered the case of the petitioner and the panel committee passed a resolution on 15-12-2010 deciding to promote the petitioner as Headmaster. With that, the direction issued by this Court is complied with. In case, the petitioner has any grievance vis-à-vis the consequential order passed on 15-12-2010, it shall be open to him to pursue his remedies. 4. Hence, the Contempt Case is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J December 22, 2010. KTL
