THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1513 of 2010 ORDER: This contempt case under Sections 10 to 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, is filed alleging that the fifth respondent has violated the directions issued by this Court in the order, dated 27.08.2010, passed in Writ Petition No.20387 of 2010. The said writ petition was filed seeking a mandamus declaring the inaction of the second respondent in granting patta to the petitioner in respect of the lands admeasuring Acs.1.61 cents and Ac.1.03 cents covered by Survey Nos.513/4 and 514/1 respectively, situated at Rajupalem Village, Kalasapadu Mandal, Kadapa District. As it was the case of the petitioner that the said lands were already assigned in favour of the fifth respondent, the writ petition was permitted to be withdrawn leaving open to the petitioner to file appeal questioning such assignment. In this contempt case, it is the case of the petitioner that there was an order of status quo for a period of four (4) weeks. In spite of the same, the fifth respondent entered into possession of the lands in question illegally. Thus, the fifth respondent committed contempt of Court. It is to be noticed that even according to the petitioner, assignment was made in 2008. Since then, up to this time, the petitioner has not moved the matter. As much as it is stated that the petitioner has already preferred appeal, while it is open to him to obtain appropriate orders therein, it cannot be said that the fifth respondent willfully violated the order, dated 27.08.2010, passed by this Court in Writ Petition No.20387 of 2010. Subject to the above observations, the Contempt Case is dismissed. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th OCTOBER, 2010. kvni
