THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.924 of 2010 Date:25.08.2010 Between: Vadlamudi Narasimha Rao and another. ……..Petitioners. And P.Suryanarayana Reddy. ……Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.924 of 2010 ORDER: This contempt case has been filed complaining disobedience of the order dated 15.6.2010 passed in WPMP No.16773 of 2010 in W.P.No.13299 of 2010. Notice before admission came to be ordered on 7.7.2010. The respondents filed counter affidavit. It is stated in the counter affidavit that the respondent never interfered with the petitioner’s activity with regard to the fish tank. Para Nos.3 to 5 of the counter affidavit needs to be noted and they are thus:- “3. I submit that it is true that the petitioner has obtained a license from the District Collector, and the license is in vogue as on today. After the interim orders are granted by the Hon'ble High Court I have never interfered with the petitioner activity with regard to the fish tank and I deny the allegations made in the affidavit. 4. I deny the various averments made in the affidavit, which are all misconceived and self-serving and the violation of the orders of the Hon'ble Court are concerned. 5. I submit that it may be true that some of the villagers have obstructed the petitioner and he has given a complaint to the Superintendent of Police but I have never interfered with the petitioner and the allegations are made only for the purpose of the contempt case.” When the contempt case came up for consideration, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners. The respondent specifically stated in the counter affidavit that he never interfered with the fishing activities of the petitioner. In that view of the matter, I find that the contention of the petitioners that the respondent is interfering with their fishing activities despite the interim order passed in the WPMP has no substance, and, accordingly, the Contempt Case is devoid of merits and the same is hereby dismissed. _______________________________________ JUSTICE B.
