THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CONTEMPT CASE No.371 of 2011 Dated:11.04.2011 Between: M/s.Prakash Arts. …Petitioner And Sri Syed Lftequar Mehdi, S/o.Late S.Y.Nawab. …Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CONTEMPT CASE No.371 of 2011 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) Ad-Age Outdoor Advertising Private Limited filed writ petition, being W.P.No.22326 of 2008, challenging the order of the Government, whereby and whereunder the permission granted to them by the Andhra Pradesh Wakf Board to erect Unipoles in different wakf properties was set aside. Learned single Judge allowed the writ petition on 05.11.2009 on the ground that the petitioner herein at whose instance, the permission of the Wakf Board was set aside by the Government lacks locus standi. The writ appeal, being W.A.No.319 of 2010, was disposed of by this Court on 04.08.2010. The order of the learned single Judge was set aside, and the matter was remitted for fresh consideration and disposal. The petitioner who is the sixth respondent in the writ proceedings, filed the instant contempt case alleging that after the disposal of the writ appeal filed by the petitioner, the respondent proceeded with the erection of Unipoles and completed, besides leasing out for display of advertisements. According to the petitioner, this amounts to contempt of Court. Counsel for the petitioner submits that when the matter is pending before the learned single Judge and there is no interim order suspending the Government Order, any erection of Unipoles in contravention of the Government order would amount to contempt. We are afraid, this submission is misconceived. Indisputably, either during the pendency of the writ petition or writ appeal there was no order of status quo. Therefore, the contempt, as alleged, is not established. The Contempt Case is, therefore, dismissed. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) _____________________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 11.04.2011 vs
