THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.1290 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.31039 of 1998 challenging the notice dated 23.10.1998 issued by the respondent requiring him to demolish the building. The writ petition was allowed through an order dated 26.11.2008. The order impugned in the writ petition was set aside and it was left open to the respondent to issue fresh notice. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondent issued a show cause notice dated 24.01.2009 contrary to law and in violation of the orders of this Court in the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. After setting aside the notice challenged in the writ petition, this Court clearly left it open to the respondent to issue fresh notice keeping in view the observations made in the order. Obviously in compliance with this, the respondent issued a show cause notice dated 24.01.2009. The very purpose of issuing show cause notice is to enable the petitioner to raise his objections or point out his grievances. Assuming that the show cause notice is in contravention of the orders of this Court, it can be brought to the notice of the respondent through reply. Mere issuance of show cause notice cannot be said to be an act of contempt. The contempt case is accordingly closed. __________ 06.10.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.1290 of 2009 Date: 06.10.2009 JSU
