THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.286 of 2009 Date:8.6.2010 Between: K.Shakuntala, Jagathgirigutta, R.R.District. Petitioner And Sri S.P.Singh, Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipality Corporation, Lower Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad. Respondent THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.286 of 2009 ORDER: This Contempt Case has been filed complaining disobedience of the order dated 5-8-2008 passed in W.P.No.967 of 2008. The direction in the writ petition reads as hereunder: “In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission directing the respondents 1 and 2 to consider the representation dated 21.11.2005 keeping in view the directions given by this Court in the earlier writ petitions and pass appropriate orders within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” Notice before admission came to be ordered on 6.3.2009. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent submits that pursuant to the directions given in the writ petition, notice has been issued to B. Laxmamma Yadav under Section 402 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act and the same has been challenged by her by filing a writ petition and obtained interim stay. It is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that there is abnormal delay in complying the order passed by this Court and it amounts to violation of the order dated 5.8.2008. It is evident from the material placed on record that the respondents have acted on the representation submitted by the petitioner and issued notice under Section 402 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act. The said notice has been challenged by Laxmamma Yadav by filing a writ petition. It is also not in dispute that the said Laxmamma Yadav obtained an interim order and thereupon, the petitioner filed a petition with a prayer to vacate the interim order therein. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that passing of the orders by the 1st respondent under Section 402 of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act amounts to substantial compliance of the directions given by this Court in the writ petition. Accordingly, nothing survives for adjudication in the contempt case, and, the same is hereby dismissed. ___________________________________ JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY Date:8.6.2010 mrb
