THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No:762 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.9654 of 2009 complaining that the respondents are making or permitting constructions over 20 cents of land that was earmarked for communal purposes at Santhamaguluru village. While issuing Notice Before Admission, this Court passed interim order on 1.05.2009 directing respondents 2, 3 and 5 therein to ensure that no construction is brought into existence over the said land, which is earmarked for community hall, play ground and public park in the Schedule Caste Colony of the village. This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondents have permitted constructions over the said land. The petitioner alleges that when the construction undertaken by the sixth respondent was brought to the notice of respondents 2 and 3, they gave evasive and irresponsible replies. The second respondent, Tahsildar, Santhamaguluru filed counter affidavit. It is stated that when she was on election duty at Bogole Mandal, some constructions have taken place in the month of April. She said to have ensured that no further constructions take place. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for respondents 1 and 2. It is not in dispute that the land of 20 cents was earmarked exclusively for communal purposes, such as, construction of community hall and for carving out playground etc. In the counter affidavit, it is stated that attempts were made by certain persons to construct a church over there, and as soon as it was noticed, the further work was stopped. Though an attempt is made to impress upon this Court that the said construction was made before this Court passed the interim orders, the fact remains that the construction was sought to be made in a public place. In the recent past the Hon’ble Supreme Court deprecated such practices. Hence, the Contempt Case is closed. It is directed that the respondents shall ensure that no structure exists over 20 cents of land except the structures such as community hall school etc. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ (L.
