THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO CONTEMPT CASE No.1588 OF 2010 Dated:10.03.2011 Between: Surineedi Hari Babu and others .. Petitioners And M.Ravi Chandra, I.A.S., District Collector, East Godavari District and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO CONTEMPT CASE No.1588 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners filed W.P.No.5527 of 2010 for a direction to the respondents to allot Acs.5.00 of land each for the purpose of agriculture. They claim to be former Jawans of Military and Para-Military Force. The writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn on 10.03.2010 giving liberty to the petitioners to approach the District Collector during ‘Prajavani’ programme. It is now stated by the petitioners that they made a representation to the District Collector and sent the same by way of registered post, but in vain. Therefore, they filed the present contempt case. The question of contempt would arise when a direction issued by the Court is disobeyed willfully or when an undertaking given to the Court is retracted subsequently amounting to disobedience. When a writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn or dismissed without expressing any opinion or dismissed making an observation, the question of contempt would not arise. In a case of this nature, it is for the petitioners to again file a writ petition complaining about the action of the public authority in not considering and the disposing of the representation made for redressal. The Contempt Case, with the above observations, is dismissed. _______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 10.03.2011 KH
