HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD CONTEMPT CASE No. 1539 of 2010 ORDER Heard Sri B.Ranganatha Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners-appellants and Sri T.Ramulu, learned Government Pleader for Arbitration, representing the respondents 1 and 2. 2. The counter affidavit of the 1st respondent is filed. The 1st respondent stated among other things that he did not receive any information about the extension of the status quo order and that when the extended status quo order was shown to the revenue authorities, they returned from the subject property without any dismantling or eviction. In any event, the 1st respondent tendered his unconditional apology for any deviation incompliance with the orders of this Court. It is to be noted that subsequently, the second appeal itself was disposed of, after the interim orders of status quo, by the judgment, dated 01-03-2011, and this Court held that the Civil Courts have no jurisdiction to entertain and determine the dispute in the light of Section 26 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973 (for brevity ‘the Act’). 3. Under the circumstances, the contempt proceedings need not be pursued further and the contempt case is closed. Notwithstanding the dismissal of the Second Appeal, it is needless to emphasize that the observations of this Court in the judgment in S.A.No.1274 of 2010, dated 01-03-2011, about the necessity to follow the procedure prescribed under Section 10 (5) of the Act, will be given due weight and be kept in view for compliance by the concerned authorities. ____________________ 27th August 2011 kvr
