THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR CONTEMPT CASE NO.327 OF 2010 25TH APRIL, 2011 Between: Attivilli Krishna Murthy. … Petitioner/Petitioner a n d J.V.R.Krishna Rao, Executive Officer, Tirumala Tirupathi Devastanam, Tirupati, Chittoor District. … Respondent/Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR CONTEMPT CASE NO.327 OF 2010 O R D E R This Court, by order dated 01.06.2009 passed in this writ petition, directed the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam, Tirupathi, to verify each and every case in the statement furnished by the petitioner, containing the details of the cases in which he appeared on its behalf, and if the same was found to be correct, to calculate the amount payable to him and submit a report to this Court within a period of four weeks. Alleging disobedience to the above order, this Contempt Case was filed. The Executive Officer of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam, Tirupathi, filed a counter stating that pursuant to the order passed by this Court, the matter had been verified and it was found that out of the statement of cases furnished by the petitioner, he was authorized to appear for the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam only in four cases. A report was appended to the said counter reflecting this stand and stating that the petitioner was not entitled to claim any amount in respect of matters in which he was not given authorization to appear on behalf of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam. Sri A.Krishna Murthy, the petitioner appearing as a party-in- person, contended that this report was incorrect as he is in a position to demonstrate that his name was reflected in the orders passed in the various cases for which he was claiming fees. This Court is however not inclined to go into these issues in exercise of contempt jurisdiction. The order passed by this Court on 01.06.2009 has been duly complied with and a report has been submitted stating to the effect that the petitioner’s claim was untenable on facts. The petitioner would necessarily have to address the merits of such consideration in the main writ petition which is still pending. He cannot enlarge the scope of this contempt case to cover such issues. The contempt case is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. -------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR,J 25TH APRIL, 2011.
