This Court by the abovementioned order, disposed of the Writ Petition with a direction to the respondent to grant ferry rights to the petitioner in respect of Mogavelly Ghat in pursuance of tender notice dated 18.08.2010, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the order. Alleging that despite receipt of the said order, the respondent has not complied with the same, the petitioner filed the present Contempt Case. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondent, it is inter alia stated that on 06.01.2011 itself, the respondent has issued a notice to the petitioner requesting him to come forward for entering into an agreement for plying his boats on the river Pranahitha from Mogavelly Ghat. It is further stated that despite the said notice, which was served through the Panchayat Secretary, the petitioner has not come forward to enter into an agreement and filed the Contempt Case with false allegations. Sri K. Venumadhav, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that his client has not received the said notice. It is not necessary for this Court to deal with this contention, because the respondent has made his stand very clear that he is prepared to enter into an agreement, as directed by this Court. Therefore, while dismissing the Contempt Case, the petitioner is permitted to approach the respondent for entering into an agreement for plying his boats on the river Pranahitha from Mogavelly Ghat. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 01.04.2011 ES
