THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA C.C. No. 232 of 2011 Oral order: Alleging that the respondents have wilfully disobeyed the orders dated 24.02.2009 passed by this Court in W.P.M.P. No.2754 of 2009 in W.P. No.2173 of 2009, and as such, are liable for contempt, the petitioner filed this contempt case, praying the Court to punish them for contempt. Pursuant to the notice ordered by this Court, respondent Nos.1 and 2 filed counter inter alia stating that when respondent Nos. 3 and 4 started making constructions in deviation to the sanctioned plan, they issued notices dated 10.12.2008 under Section 452 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, calling upon them to show cause as to why action should not be taken. Respondent Nos. 3 and 4, having received the notices, filed suits in O.S. Nos.4725 and 4783 of 2009 on the file of the IV Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, and obtained status quo orders, and therefore, they are unable to take further action against them. The order, non-compliance of which is complained in this contempt case, is only an interim order. Since respondent Nos. 3 and 4, upon receipt of notices issued by respondent Nos. 1 and 2, filed suits and obtained status quo orders, respondent Nos. 1 and 2 are unable to take action against the alleged illegal constructions made by respondent Nos. 3 and 4. However, having regard to the fact that the order, non-compliance of which is alleged in this contempt case, is only an interim order passed pending disposal of the writ petition, and the suits filed by respondent Nos. 3 and 4 are pending, I do not wish to proceed further with the present contempt case. Hence, the contempt case is closed. The petitioner may agitate his grievance in the pending writ petition and contest the suits filed by respondent Nos. 3 and 4, if he so chooses. No costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 1st July, 2011 IBL
