P.Vasanth Reddy v. Mr.Medisetti Venkatesam

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM CONTEMPT CASE No. 1086 OF 2015 O R D E R:

This Contempt Case is against the order dated 05.08.2008 in Contempt Case No. 207 of 2008 which directed the respondent Municipality to register Plot No. 25 in favour of the petitioner after payment of the differential amount, within six weeks from the date of payment.

While disposing of the Contempt Case, this Court recorded the submission of the respondent Municipality to the effect that the petitioner is willing to get Plot No. 25 registered in his name, subject to payment of dues of cost as per the lay out. However, subsequently, since the petitioner alleges that some similarlysituated persons were given plots, at Rs.600/- per square yard, whereas he was offered to pay Rs.2,000/-, learned counsel for the petitioner was directed to get instructions from his client whether the offer made by the municipality is acceptable or not, taking into consideration the fact that though in the open market, the plot value is around Rs.15,000/- to 20,000/- per square yard, the municipality is willing to give it at Rs.2,000/- in terms of the market value for the purpose of stamp duty.

Today, learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions, submits that his client is willing to pay Rs.2,000/- per square yard and other necessary charges and get the plot registered in his name.

In those circumstances, the Contempt Case is closed with a direction to the respondent municipality to complete registration of Plot No. 25 in the name of the petitioner, at Rs.2,000/- per square

yard, within a period of six weeks from the date of payment. It is made clear, all the expenses relating to registration of the plot shall be borne by the petitioner. Needless to say, the amount, which has already been deposited, shall be given credit to. The miscellaneous Applications, if any pending in this Contempt Case shall also stand closed.
