HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY C.C.No.494 of 2011 Date : 1-7-2011 Between : K.S. Parvathamma .. Petitioner And D.Srinivasulu Reddy Sub-Registrar, Anantapur Rural Mandal, Anantapur District .. Respondent Counsel for petitioner : Sri K.Srinivas Counsel for respondent : A.G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging willful disobedience of order dated 9-12-2010 in W.P.No.25620/2010 and WPMP No.32722/2010. The above noted Writ Petition filed by the petitioner herein was allowed by holding that there was no justification for the contemnor for not receiving the document and registering the same. Accordingly a mandamus was issued to him to receive the document presented by the petitioner and register the same, subject to the petitioner complying with the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. This Contempt Case is filed alleging that the contemnor failed to register the document on the instructions issued by the Tahsildar concerned. As this action of the contemnor was prima facie found to be contemptuous and also contumacious, the Contempt Case was adjourned and the presence of the contemnor was ordered. Accordingly, he was present on the previous occasion and also today. The contemnor filed a counter- affidavit wherein he stated that the documents presented by the petitioner were received and assigned P.Nos.21/2011 and 22/2011 dated 21-2-2011, that after filing of the Contempt Case, they were admitted for registration on 28-6- 2011 by assigning regular document bearing Nos.4078/2011 and 4079/2011 and returned the same to the parties concerned on 29-6-2011. The contemnor offered unconditional apologies for the delay caused in registration of the documents. Even though this court feels that the contemnor initially failed to comply with the order of this court, as he has purged the contempt by taking corrective steps as mentioned in the counter-affidavit, the Contempt Case is closed and the contemnor is discharged. ________________________ Justice C.V.
