THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA CONTEMPT CASE No.689 of 2010 ORDER: This contempt case is filed complaining willful disobedience on the part of the respondents in complying with the order dated 16.06.2009 passed by this Court in W.P.M.P. No.14369 of 2009 in W.P. No. 11186 of 2009. It is the case of the petitioners that, in spite of the aforesaid orders of this Court, directing the parties to maintain status quo until further orders, the respondent Government has issued orders in G.O.Rt.No.90 dated 17.02.2010, extending the term of the Five-Men Committee, appointed under the orders impugned in the writ petition, to manage the affairs of the Fisherman Cooperative Society, Miryalaguda, Nalgonda District, for a further period of six months with effect from 30.11.2009 or till the elections are conducted and the elected body assumes charge, whichever is earlier. Today, when the matter came up for consideration, learned counsel on either side submitted that the term of the Five-Men Committee appointed under the orders impugned in the writ petition and extended by G.O.Rt.No.90 dated 17.02.2010 has expired. Therefore, without going into the controversy whether the respondents have violated the orders of this Court, the counsel have agreed to close the contempt case with the following direction: “Respondent No.3- Deputy Director of Fisheries, Nalgonda, is directed to appoint an Officer to conduct elections for appointment of Managing Committee to the Fisherman Cooperative Society, Miryalaguda, Nalgonda District, and the Officer so appointed shall conduct the elections and conclude the process within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” The contempt case is accordingly closed. _________________________ JUSTICE N.V.
