HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA CONTEMPT CASE No. 1388 of 2011 DATED 28th November, 2011 BETWEEN P.Thirupal …Petitioner And Sri B.Sanjeevaiah, Tahsildar, Banaganapalle Mandla, Kurnool District and anr ….Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA CONTEMPT CASE No. 1388 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner has filed this Contempt Case alleging that the respondents have willfully and deliberately flouted the orders passed in Writ Petition No. 16448 of 2011, dated 7.7.2011 whereby this Court observed that the official respondents are at liberty to initiate action against the second respondent, who is fifth respondent in the Writ Petition, if required under law, in case the second respondent proceeds illegally with the mining operations in the petitioner’s patta land admeasuring Ac.0.65 cents situate in Palkur village of Banaganapalle Mandal, Kurnool District. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that despite the order of this Court, the second respondent is proceeding with the illegal mining operations in the patta lands of the petitioner in question. The first respondent herein, who is the fifth respondent in the main Writ Petition, filed counter affidavit wherein it is stated that he is not the competent authority either to suspend or cancel the mining lease. However, he denied the allegations made by the petitioner in the affidavit. After hearing the learned Counsel, I find technically no contempt is made out. However, in case the second respondent proceeds with illegal mining operations in the patta land of the petitioner in question, the first respondent is at liberty to initiate appropriate action against the second respondent in accordance with law. With the above observation the Contempt Case is disposed of. No costs. -------------------------------------- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 28th November, 2011. Msnro
