THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA CONTEMPT CASE No.1109 OF 2009 ORDER: This contempt case is filed complaining willful disobedience on the part of the respondents in complying with the order dated 20.06.2008 passed by this Court in W.P.No.27648 of 2007, whereunder the respondents were directed to issue proper notice and follow the due procedure prescribed by law to remove the petitioners from the encroached land, and till such time status quo obtaining as on that day was directed to be maintained. Pursuant to the aforesaid orders of this Court, the Secretary of Seesali Gram Panchayat, Kalla Mandal, West Godavari District, issued notice dated 31.07.2008 to the petitioners, alleging that they encroached the tank poramboke land belonging to Seesali Gram Panchayat, in an extent of 0.10 cents in R.S.No.213 of Seesali Village, and directed them to vacate the said land and handover the possession to Gram Panchayat within seven days of receipt of the notice. Complaining that the respondents have not demarcated the land alleged to have been encroached by the petitioners and that they issued the said notice dated 31.07.2008, without following due procedure prescribed under law, and though the petitioners submitted reply to the said notice, the respondents, without considering the same, have been threatening to dispossess them from the land in question, the petitioners filed the present contempt case. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners intend to question the said notice dated 31.07.2008 issued by the Secretary of Seesali Gram Panchayat, Kalla Mandal, West Godavari District, in appropriate proceedings, and he, therefore, requests to close this contempt case with liberty to the petitioners to question the said notice dated 31.07.2008 in appropriate proceedings. In view of the above, the contempt case is closed with the liberty sought for. _________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 25th January, 2010 IBL
