THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1670 of 2010 ORDER: 1 This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in WPMP No.6980 of 2009 in W.P.No.5351 of 2009 dated 17.03.2009. 2 By the aforesaid order, this Court issued directions by way of an interim order directing the respondents to consider the presentations dated 25.4.2004 and 06.06.2008 for payment of compensation claimed by the petitioners towards coconut, mango, guava, oil palm, bamboo, cashew nut trees and Eucalyptuses trees situated in acquired land at Valampatla Village, West Godavari District pending disposal of the said Writ Petition. 3 In this Contempt Case, the second respondent has filed a detailed counter affidavit. 4 When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that the petitioners are not entitled to any further compensation and for the acquired land, a consent award was passed under Section 11 (2) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. It is further submitted that in view of the interim direction granted by this court, the further claim of the petitioners was considered and rejected by order, dated 22.2.2011. 5 Inasmuch as the direction of this court is only to consider the representations of the petitioners and now as it is stated that their claim has already been considered and rejected by order dated 22.2.2011, it cannot be said that the respondent have wilfully and deliberately violated the orders of this court. Hence, I do not find any reason to proceed against the respondents under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 6 Accordingly, this Contempt Case is closed granting liberty to the petitioners to question the order dated 22.2.2011 passed by the respondent authorities, if they are so advised. No costs. -------------------------- R.Subhash Reddy, J. 19.12.2011 Kvsn
