THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1506 of 2010 ORDER: This contempt case is filed by the sole respondent in S.A.No.145 of 2007. The respondents herein filed the second appeal feeling aggrieved by the decree, dated 29.01.2004, passed by the Court of the III Additional Junior Civil Judge, Visakhapatnam in O.S.No.2602 of 1998, which was confirmed by the Court of the IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam. While admitting the second appeal, this Court passed an interim order on 23.02.2007 in S.A.M.P.No.295 of 2007 in S.A.No.145 of 2007 directing that both the parties shall maintain status quo available as on that date. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondents have entered into the suit schedule property and made constructions on the strength of the order of status quo. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The respondents lost in both the Courts in the context of seeking the relief of perpetual injunction. It is no doubt true that this Court directed the parties to maintain status quo while admitting the second appeal. The second appeal is said to have been already heard and orders are reserved. In the affidavit filed in support of the contempt case, the petitioner has not stated as to at what time the alleged construction was made. Unless it is proved to the satisfaction of this Court that the respondents made construction in the suit schedule property subsequent to the orders passed by this Court, they cannot be punished for contempt of Court. Hence, the contempt case is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:13.12.2011 kdl
