THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN Contempt Case No.394 of 2008 ORDER : This Contempt Case is filed alleging wilful and deliberate violation of the order passed by this Court, in W.P.M.P.No.22508 of 1999 in W.P.No.18051 of 1999 dated 25-08-1999, whereby interim stay was granted directing the respondents not to interfere with the petitioners’ possession and enjoyment of the land. It is the petitioners’ case that on 21-02-2008, the respondent had deputed his office staff along with the Surveyor to demarcate their land into plots and put boundary stones on the plots and, despite their objection, the respondents were continuing with their work. In the counter-affidavit, filed on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that on 18-02-2007 a notice for resumption of land was served on the petitioners, they had attended the office of the respondent on 20-12- 2007 and had given their consent for resumption of the land and that possession of the land was taken on payment of compensation. The Government Pleader for Revenue would submit that the respondents had already paid compensation to the petitioners, that in so far as Sri P.N.Subramanyam is concerned, a sum of Rs.4,02,230/- was paid vide D.D.No.582966, dated 04-11-2009 and Rs.2,52,064/- was paid vide D.D.No.582967, dated 04-11-2009. With regard to the second petitioner it is stated that he was paid a sum of Rs.4,02,230/- vide D.D.No.582968, dated 04-11-2009 and Rs.2,25,249/- vide D.D.No.582969 dated 04-11-2009. The interim order passed by this Court, which has resulted in the present contempt case being filed, was on the ground that no order of resumption had been passed and, as it now transpires that an order of resumption was passed and compensation has already been paid, the action of the respondents cannot be said to be in violation of the order of this Court, much less wilfully and deliberately. The Contempt Case is, accordingly, closed. No order as to costs. ___________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J. 25th November, 2009.
