THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1438 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners filed W.P.No.7430 of 2010, before this Court, complaining that the respondents are trying to take possession of the land in survey No.1007 of Kaitalapur Revenue Village, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. W.P.M.P.No.9569 of 2010 was filed with a prayer to direct the respondents and their subordinates not to interfere with the peaceful possession of the petitioners over the said land. On 28.04.2010, this Court passed an interim order, directing that the respondents shall not lay road over the land in Survey No.1007, unless it is part of any approved lay out. It was also made clear that, in case the land belongs to the Government, or if it was acquired from any private individual, the work can be proceeded. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondents are trying to lay road in violation of the orders of this Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2. While the petitioners assert that the land exclusively belongs to them, respondent No.2 states that it is covered by a lay out, which was sanctioned long ago, and the attempt was only to lay road in accordance with the sanctioned lay out. In the process, respondent No.2 addressed a letter, dated 11.06.2010, to respondent No.1, informing him that he has no title over the land. Respondent No.2 was not supposed to undertake such an exercise. Title disputes, if any, are to be resolved by the Courts of law, or by the authorities constituted under the relevant enactments. The interim order passed by this Court is subject to certain conditions. In case the land in question is part of any approved lay out, the respondents can certainly take steps. The work is also permitted, if the land is acquired. Even now, in case the respondents are of the view that the land was part of any lay out, it can certainly be demarcated with reference to such lay out in the presence of the petitioners. There is some dispute as to the identify of the land to which the work is proposed. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not feel that respondent No.2, in any way committed acts of contempt. Hence, the contempt case is closed, directing that it shall be open to respondent No.2 to demarcate any part of the land in Survey No.1007 of Kaitalapur Revenue Village, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, in case it is covered by any sanctioned lay out. The demarcation in this regard shall, however, take place after notice to the petitioners and in their presence. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:10.12.2010. kdl/ktl
