The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Contempt Case No.765 of 2011 Date: 30.09.2011 Between: Tadinada Fishermen Co-operative Society Rep. byits President Sangani Gangadhar. ..... Petitioner AND 1.K.Anand, District Panchayat Officer, Machilipatnam, Krishna District and 2 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri V.V.Prabhakara Rao Counsel for the respondents: Sri G.Elisha, SC for ZPP The Court made the following: Order: This Contempt Case is filed alleging willful disobedience of interim order, dated 06-12-2010, in WP.No.29992 of 2010, by the respondent. In the above Writ Petition, filed by the petitioner, this Court has suspended Order, dated 03-11-2010, of respondent No.2 in the Writ Petition, whereby he has directed respondent No.3 therein i.e., Tadinada Gram Panchayat to conduct fresh auction of fishing rights in three tanks within its jurisdiction. In the present Contempt Case, the petitioner has contended that, despite the said interim order, respondent herein has declined to receive the second installment of the lease amount and thereby, he has committed serious violation of the said order. The respondent filed a counter-affidavit wherein he has taken the stand that, on legal advice, he refused to receive the second installment of the lease amount from the petitioner. As this Court found that the speaking interim order passed by this Court is clear and unambiguous, the learned Counsel, who gave such an advice, was directed to file an affidavit in this regard. Accordingly, Sri G.Elisha, learned Counsel, who advised the respondent, filed his affidavit wherein he has fairly conceded that on a wrong understanding of the interim order, he has given such an advice to the respondent; that on realizing the same, he advised the respondent to receive the DD amount and; that the same was, accordingly, received. Having regard to the explanations offered by the contemnor and also the learned Counsel appearing for him and the fact that the impugned order was, subsequently, complied with, I do not intend to proceed further in the Contempt Case. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed and the contemnor is discharged. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 30th September, 2011 LUR
