HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY C.C.No.66 of 2011 Date : 12-8-2011 Between : Dr. K.I. Askari .. Petitioner And Dr.Samir Sharma, IAS, Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad and another .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri Nazir Ahmed Khan Counsel for respondents : Sri C.Damodar Reddy, Standing Counsel The court made the following: ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging willful disobedience of order dated 29-12-2008 in W.P.No.28317/2008. A counter-affidavit is filed by Sri S.Venkata Ramana, Executive Engineer, Division No.VI of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (for short “the Corporation”) wherein it is inter alia stated that he along with the Zonal Commissioner, Central Zone, Deputy Commissioner, Circle- 8 and the other staff, inspected the passage in dispute on 28-7-2011 and found that the said lane is a common passage, that on enquiry they have learnt that C.C. road is in existence about 5 to 6 ft. below the present formation level, that if the old C.C. road is to be restored, the access to the three buildings situated on the rear side will be affected and that storm water disposal will be a major problem. It is further stated that to avoid such a situation, they have decided to lay a cement road in the lane in such a way that the rain water will be disposed of onto the main road and thereby there will not be any water stagnation problem in the lane. It is further stated that in the counter-affidavit that the said decision was communicated to the petitioner vide letter dated 4-8-2011. Even though this court has not stipulated the time limit for disposal of the petitioner’s representation, there is inordinate delay in complying with the order of this court. However, taking a lenient view of the matter and considering the fact that the officials of the Corporation have started taking remedial measures at least now, the Contempt Case is closed with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy if he feels aggrieved by the above mentioned letter. ________________________ Justice C.V.
