The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.1479 of 2011 Date: 09-12-2011 Between: Govana Sudhakara Rao ..... Petitioner AND Sri K.Naga Babu .....Respondent Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.T.Ramakoteswara Rao Counsel for the Respondent: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following : Order: This Contempt case is filed alleging willful disobedience of Order, dated 30-11-2010, in WP.No.23542 of 2010, by the respondent. The respondent has filed a counter-affidavit wherein he has stated that, in compliance with the order of this Court, he has disposed of the appeal on 22-11-2011. As this Court found substantial delay in compliance of this Court’s Order, dated 30-11-2010, the respondent was called upon to file an affidavit giving reasons therefor. Accordingly, an affidavit has been filed by the respondent wherein he has stated that, as several adjournments were taken by the parties, the appeal could not be disposed of within the stipulated time and that he was also appointed as Special Officer for Mandal Parishad, Ongole, in addition to his normal duties as Revenue Divisional Officer and that this has also contributed to the delay. The respondent has offered unconditional apologies for the delay caused in complying with the order of this Court. Having regard to the reasons assigned by the respondent, I do not intend to proceed further against the respondent. The Contempt Case is, accordingly, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to assail the order passed by the respondent in the appeal at his option. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 9th December, 2011 LUR
