The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Contempt Case No.407 of 2010 Dated 19th July, 2010 Between: Vikasa Bharathi High School …Petitioner And Dr.Surender Reddy …Respondent Counsel for the petitioner: Sri G.Simhadri Counsel for the respondent: GP for Education The Court made the following: Order: This Contempt Case is filed alleging wilful disobedience of Order, dated 05-03-2010, in WP.No.5104 of 2010, by the respondent. The petitioner in this Contempt Case filed the aforesaid Writ Petition feeling aggrieved by the action of the respondents therein in not permitting its students to appear for SSC examinations scheduled to be held from 20th March, 2010. This Court by order, dated 05-03-2010, disposed of the said Writ Petition with certain directions, which include a direction to permit the students of X class studying in petitioner-School to appear for examinations scheduled to be held from 20th March, 2010, or on any other subsequent date or dates by receiving challan, nominal rolls and ICR forms pertaining to the students. However, without accepting the nominal rolls and ICR forms submitted by the petitioner, the respondent herein and the District Educational Officer permitted the SSC students of the petitioner-School to appear for SSC advance supplementary examinations scheduled to be held in June, 2010. Feeling aggrieved by this action, the petitioner filed the present Contempt Case. The main premise, on which this Contempt Case has been filed, is that in order to overreach the order passed by this Court in the above-mentioned Writ Petition, the respondent has issued proceedings purportedly on 02-03-2010 by antedating the same whereby the proposal submitted by the petitioner was rejected and the under process certificate, dated 26-02- 2010, issued in its favour was withdrawn. This was followed by proceedings, dated 18-03-2010, issued by the Secretary to the Government, wherein the Government permitted payment of attendance exemption fee under ‘TATKAL’ scheme and treated the students of the petitioner-School as private candidates. As this Court felt that the said proceedings, dated 02-03-2010, issued by the respondent were antedated, his action required explanation. Accordingly, a detailed counter-affidavit has been filed by the respondent apart from being present personally in the Court. At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for School Education placed before the Court the despatch register/delivery book to show that proceedings, dated 02-03-2010, were sent through the District Educational Officer, Ranga Reddy District, on 02-03-2010 itself. Having considered the entire material, I am satisfied that the respondent has issued the proceedings on 02-03-2010 itself and that there was no attempt to overreach the impugned order of this Court. Inasmuch as the under process certificate was cancelled by the respondent, one day prior to the passing of the order by this Court in the Writ Petition, the action of the respondent, in not permitting the petitioner to hold examinations and instead treating the SSC students of the petitioner as private candidates, cannot be construed as violation of the order of this Court. The Contempt Case is accordingly dismissed. However, this order does not preclude the petitioner from questioning proceedings, dated 02-03-2010, issued by the respondent, by availing appropriate remedy. As a sequel to dismissal of the Contempt Case, application No.266 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 19th July, 2010 lur
