THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.825 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners approached this Court by filing W.P.No.4891 of 2009 alleging that when they tried to clear the bushes in the land assigned to them in Survey No.139 of Molakalapudi Village, Chittamuru Mandal, Nellore District, the officials of the Forest Department have objected to the same. Therefore, they claimed appropriate relief. The writ petition was disposed of at the admission stage on 13.03.2009 directing that the officials of Revenue and Forest Departments viz., respondents 2 and 3 herein shall cause joint survey of the land, with reference to specific records, within a period of three months. The grievance of the petitioners is that though survey was conducted and report was submitted, several contradictions have emerged and the Forest officials are not able to substantiate their contention that it is declared as reserve forest. Reference is made to certain paragraphs contained in the report, dated 27.05.2009. On this basis, the petitioners want this Court to punish the respondents. The 1st respondent filed a counter affidavit referring to various steps that have been taken subsequent to the orders of this Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader of the 1st respondent. The limited relief granted by this Court while disposing of the writ petition was that a joint survey shall be conducted by the officials of the Revenue and Forest Departments. Even according to the petitioners, such a survey has since been conducted. In case, the petitioners find that what is stated in the report is factually incorrect or legally untenable, they can certainly pursue their remedies before appropriate Forum. This Court does not find any basis to punish the respondents for contempt. The contempt case is accordingly closed, leaving it open to the petitioners to work out their remedies either on the basis of or against the report, dated 27.05.2009. _________ 10.08.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.825 of 2010 Date: 10.08.2010 JSU
