NO. 1100 OF 2009 ORDER: This contempt case is filed complaining non- compliance of order of this Court in WP No. 18854 of 2007, dated 18.12.2007. The operative portion of the aforesaid order reads as follows, “38. Be that as it may, in the light of the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, apart from other statutory remedies, which may be availed by the writ petitioner, and the actions, which had been challenged, of the subordinate authorities of the endowments department, respondents 2 and 3, let the writ petitioner make a representation in detail to the 1st respondent, the Commissioner, Hindu Religious Endowments Department, Tilak Road, Abids, Hyderabad, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and let the 1st respondent conduct appropriate enquiry and take appropriate decision, especially keeping in view the advanced age of the writ petitioner also within a period of eight weeks thereafter. Inasmuch as this Court made an interim order, let the status quo be maintained till an appropriate decision is taken by the 1st respondent in this regard. 39. With the above directions, both the writ petitions are disposed of. No order as to costs. 40. Heard the learned counsel. 41. Learned Government Pleader for Endowments, at the time of pronouncement of the order, made a request that in the interest of the institution, let not the petitioners interfere with the day-to-day administration of the Institution. 42. It is made clear that the order of status quo granted by this Court not to be interpreted in such a fashion, as far as day-to- day administration of the Institution is concerned. The Authorities of the Endowments Department are entitled to manage the affairs of the Institution in question in accordance with the provisions of the Act.” The petitioner made thereafter a representation to the Endowments Commissioner, dated 21.2.2008 seeking that she be declared as founder and owner of the temple and to handover the temple to her. The learned Government Pleader submits that the said representation was transferred to Deputy Commissioner, Visakhapatnam and registered as OA No. 111 of 2009, as the aforesaid relief of the petitioner falls within his jurisdiction and he has to determine the nature of the temple and claim of the petitioner. After the amendment to the Act 30/87 and after formation of Endowments Tribunal, the said OA was transferred to the Endowments Tribunal and re-numbered as OA No. 1859 of 2009. This itself shows that the order in the writ petition was complied with, but perhaps the petitioner was not aware of it. In view of that, the contempt case is dismissed. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 25.2.2011 KR
