Srikanth, District Collector, Srikakulam & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CONTEMPT CASE No.1750 of 2008 ORDER : This contempt case is filed, alleging that the respondents have violated the directions issued by this Court in the order, dated 17th of April 2008, passed in W.P.No.18548 of 1998. The petitioner is an Association of assignees of land for agricultural purpose. After the assignment, on the ground that survey was not conducted and they were not given possession of the extents assigned to them, the writ petition was filed. This Court, while disposing of the writ petition by an order, dated 17th of April 2008, permitted the petitioner-Association to make a representation to the Mandal Revenue Officer, to survey and identify the land already assigned to them, with a further direction to the Mandal Revenue Officer to survey the land either by himself or subordinates, identify the boundaries and give possession to the members of the petitioner-Association. When the matter is taken up, the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, has produced a copy of the letter, dated 05.07.2010, issued in Rc.No.329/1996 SA, sent by the Tahsildar, L.N.Peta, in which, it is stated that pursuant to the orders of this Court in the writ petition, physical possession of lands assigned to the members of the petitioner-Association, is handed over to them, by conducting a panchanama on 03.07.2010 in the presence of their Advocate Smt. B.Anuradha. Though there is some delay in handing over the possession of land to the members of the petitioner- Association, in view of the explanation offered by the respondents in the counter that the possession is already handed over to them by conducting a panchanama, this Court is of the view that there is no willful disobedience on the part of respondents in implementing the orders of this Court, so as to proceed further under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act. In view of the reasons stated above, this contempt case is closed, placing on record the aforesaid letter, dated 05.07.2010. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 12th August 2011 ajr
