No.194 of 2011 ORDER: This contempt case has been filed seeking to punish the official respondents for violating the order passed by this Court in W.P. No.241 of 2011 dated 12.01.2011. The case of the petitioners is that they have filed W.P. No.241 of 2011 seeking to declare action of the respondents 1 to 3 therein in not protecting the property bearing H.No.7-144 of Bichkunda Village and Mandal, Nizamabad District by deputing the Police Force from illegal activities of the respondents 4 to 8 therein as illegal and arbitrary and consequently to direct the respondents 1 to 3 therein to depute required Police force to protect the said property. This Court by order dated 12.01.2011 passed the following order, which reads as under: “The learned counsel for the petitioners is permitted to take out personal notice to the unofficial respondents and file proof of service by 18.01.2011. Having regard to the allegations made against the unofficial respondents in F.I.R. No.166 of 2010 of Bichkunda Police Station, the official respondents are directed to take appropriate action for safeguarding the property of the petitioner. Post on 18.01.2011. In the meanwhile, the learned Government Pleader for Home shall get instructions.” Though there is a clear direction to the official respondents to take appropriate action to safeguard the property in question, the official respondents did not take any action. Therefore, the petitioners have filed the present contempt case. On behalf of the official respondents, the 3rd respondent, Station House Officer, filed counter affidavit stating at para 9 that in due obedience to the interim directions of this Court, the official respondents are continuously providing Police protection to the subject property of the petitioner and the construction work of the petitioners is going on without any disturbance. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and recording that submission made in the counter that the official respondents are continuously providing Police protection to the property in question and the construction work of the petitioners is going on without any disturbance, I deem it appropriate that no further orders are required to be passed in this contempt case and the same can be closed. Accordingly, this contempt case is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH Date: 16.03.2011 LSK
