The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Contempt Case No.1228 of 2011 Date: 21.10.2011 Between: Mohammed Ilyas Ahmed ..... Petitioner AND Sri J.Srinivasulu, Tahsildar/MRO, Shaikpet Mandal, Road No.2, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad District .....Respondent Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.P.Venugopal for Mr.S.Rajeswara Reddy Counsel for the respondent: GP for Revenue The Court made the following: Order: This Contempt Case is filed alleging wilful disobedience of Order, dated 18-08-2011, in WPMP.No.28503 of 2011 in W.P.No.29755 of 2010, by the respondent. The petitioner filed the abovementioned Writ Petition, in which this Court granted an interim order, dated 18th August, 2011, in WPMP.No.28503 of 2011, directing the respondent not to demolish the compound wall over plot No.30/1A bearing Municipal No.8-2-603/23/30/1A in Survey No.403/23, Road No.10, Banjara Hills, Shaikpet Village, without following due process of law. Alleging that the said order is violated, the writ petitioner filed the present Contempt Case. In his affidavit, the petitioner has stated that, despite the aforesaid interim order having been brought to the notice of the respondent therein, he has demolished a portion of the compound wall and the room, constructed by the petitioner, on 19-08-2011. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondent, he has denied the allegation that he has demolished the compound wall and the room as alleged by the petitioner in his affidavit. The respondent has filed an additional counter-affidavit wherein he has stated that reference to 18-08-2011 made in his counter-affidavit was a mistake for 19-08-2011 and that, neither on 19-08-2011 nor on any other day, he has visited the subject premises and demolished the compound wall or the room. Except making a statement on oath, the petitioner has not filed any material to substantiate the allegation contained in the affidavit. However, Sri P.Venugopal, learned Counsel for the petitioner, sought to show a photograph in support of this allegation. I am afraid such a photograph, being passed across the bar, cannot be made a basis for punishing the respondent for the alleged Contempt. As the petitioner failed to prove the allegation made against the respondent, the Contempt Case is dismissed. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 21st October, 2011 LUR
