Alleging that no enquiry had been conducted as directed by this Court, the petitioner filed this contempt case. 3. After this Court admitted the contempt case, report dated 15-12- 2010 was filed which was found to be unresponsive to the observations made by this Court while passing the order dated 11-08-2010. Thereupon, the learned Additional Advocate General representing the contemnors sought time. After a fresh enquiry, report dated 04-02-2011 of the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mir Chowk, South Zone, Hyderabad was then placed before the Court. 4. Sri S. Lakshminarayana Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, disputes the contents of the report dated 04-02-2011. He filed third party affidavits in support of his attack against the said report. 5. It is however to be noticed that this Court while exercising contempt jurisdiction would not go into the merits of the compliance with its order. This Court directed an enquiry to be conducted in the matter and based thereon, a report to be submitted. Once the said order has been complied with and a report is submitted, it is for the petitioners to take necessary steps in the main writ petition, if they are aggrieved by the contents of the said report. 6. This contempt case is accordingly closed recording the fact that there is no willful disobedience by the respondents to the order dated 11- 08-2010 in W.P.M.P.No.22767 of 2010 in W.P.No.18012 of 2010. Needless to state, it shall be open to the petitioner to take necessary steps in the main writ petition against the report submitted if he is aggrieved thereby. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. ______________ SANJAY KUMAR, J February 21, 2011 SP/ISL THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR CONTEMPT CASE NO. 1546 OF 2010 Dated: February 21, 2011
