THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Contempt Case No. 1398 of 2010 Oral order: This contempt case is filed complaining willful disobedience on the part of the respondent in complying with the order dated 28.01.2009 passed by this Court In W.P. No. 1035 of 2009, whereunder the respondent herein was directed to issue notice to the petitioner and follow due procedure under law in case the respondent proposes to acquire the petitioner’s land for widening the road. It is the case of the petitioner that, in spite of the aforesaid orders of this Court, directing the respondent to issue notice to him and follow due procedure under law in case his land is proposed to be acquired for widening the road, the respondent, without there being any notification proposing acquisition of his land and without issuing any notice to him, erected a board in his land with the caption “VGTM- UDA- WORK IN PROGRESS – ROAD CLOSED” and he apprehends that his land would be acquired without following the due process of law. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent, on instructions, submits that the Board erected in the petitioner’s land has been removed and that if they intend to acquire the land of the petitioner, they will follow the due process of law. The learned counsel for the petitioner also admitted that the board erected in the land of the petitioner has been removed. In view of the above, no further orders need be passed in the present contempt case and the contempt case is accordingly closed. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 9th November, 2010. IBL
