HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Contempt Case No.459 of 2010 Date: June 6, 2011 Between: Suraj Kiran, S/o.late Tara Chand, Aged about 61 years, Occ:business, Rep. by his GPA Holder P.Soudhamini, W/o.Dr.P.Vijay Kumar, aged about 43 Years, Occ:business, R/o.H.No.20-C, MLAs’ Colony, Road No.12, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad – 34, and another … Petitioners And Sri Navin Mittal, The District Collector, Hyderabad District, Nampally, Hyderabad and two others … Respondents Order: This contempt case, under Sections 10 to 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, is filed alleging violation on the part of the respondents in complying the directions of this court in the order dated 20-11-2009 passed in W.P.M.P.No.32901 of 2009 in W.P.No.25255 of 2009. Petitioners claim that they are owners and possessors of house properties bearing Nos.10-5-2/3/3/C, 10-5-2-1/8/1/B in Sy.No.128 (old), admeasuring 804 sq. yards and also another house property bearing No.10-5-2-1/8/1/B in Sy.No.128(old), admeasuring 737 square yards, situated at Masab Tank, Asif Nagar Mandal, Hyderabad. When there was a dispute with regard to title of the aforesaid properties, on which constructions were made, petitioners have applied for regularization in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166 Rev. (Assn. Pot) Department, dated 16-02-2008. Alleging that in spite of their filing applications by paying requisite fee, the same were not being considered, they filed W.P.No.25255 of 2009. By way of an interim order, by order dated 20-11-2009 in W.P.M.P.No.32901 of 2009, respondents were directed to process the application of the petitioners as per the orders of the Government in the G.O. referred above. In this contempt case, it is alleged that in spite of such directions, respondents have not processed the application of the petitioners and have not passed any orders. When the matter is taken up, learned Assistant Government Pleader has produced a copy of Lr.No.F1/7289/2010, dated 27-05-2011, addressed to the learned Government Pleader for Assignment, wherein it is stated that proposals were submitted to the Special Chief Secretary and Chief Commissioner of Land Administration vide office Lr.No.R1/10143/2008, dated 16-04-2011, for placing the same before the State Level Committee. It is further stated therein that as the State Level Committee has not convened any meeting, the matter has not been considered, but the proposals will be considered as per the guidelines issued by the Government in the next meeting of the State Level Committee. As much as the proposals were already forwarded to the Special Chief Secretary and Commissioner of Land Administration, it cannot be said that the application of the petitioners has not been processed. Thus, I do not find any ground to accept the plea of the petitioner that respondents have flouted the directions of this court. Further, as it is stated that proposals were already forwarded to the Special Chief Secretary and Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the contempt case directing the respondents to process the application of the petitioners and take a decision thereon by placing the same before the State Level Committee, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from today. Subject to the above directions, contempt case is disposed of. ___________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) June 6, 2011 MRR
