Between: E Appa Rao S/o late Sri E Narayana Rao R/o Narasampet Village Narasampet Mandal, Warangal District ..... PETITIONER AND 1 B Janardhan Reddy, District Collector, Warangal District, Warangal 2 K Shiva Reddy, Revenue Divisional Officer, Narasampet, Warangal District 3 Mohd Ibrahim, Mandal Revenue Officer, Narasampet Mandal, Warangal District .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.DANTU.SRINIVAS Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR LAND ACQUISITION The Court made the following: ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed alleging willful disobedience of order dated 3-11-2008 in Writ Petition No.3070 of 2002. At the hearing, the contemnor-respondent No.2 is present. The learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition placed before me memo dated 31-7-2009 along with draft notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short “the Act”) approved by the District Collector, Warangal, wherein the extent of Ac.5.00 guntas belonging to the petitioner is proposed to be acquired as directed by this Court in the above-mentioned order passed in Writ Petition No.3070 of 2002. After hearing Sri D.Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the view that since respondent No.2 has taken remedial steps by withdrawing the previous memo, which allegedly violated the order of this Court, and also by initiating the proceedings under the Act, the cause in the Contempt Case does not survive for consideration. The Contempt Case is accordingly closed with liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court if the land acquisition proceedings are not completed within a period of two months from today. ----------------------------------------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date:06-8-2009 MNR
