S. Chandra Mohan Reddy, v. B. Prasada Rao

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO AND THE HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANIS CONTEMPT CASE No. 1821 OF 2015 O R D E R: (per Hon'ble Sri Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao) This Contempt Case is initiated complaining of violation of the order of this Court dated 22.01.2015 passed in Writ Petition No. 26027 of 2014 and batch of cases.

Notice was issued before admission returnable in four weeks on 09.10.2015. In response thereto, the Superintendent of Police, YSR Kadapa District has filed the counter-affidavit and enclosed thereto an order passed by us in C.C(SR) Nos. 7964 and 7970 of 2015 on 09.10.2015. The operative portion of the aforementioned order dated 09.10.2015 reads as under:

" We fail to understand how a contempt of Court action can be initiated against the respondents in the above facts and circumstances. The judgment rendered by the Division Bench, in turn, has set aside the orders passed by the Tribunal for lack of reasons. The Tribunal has set aside the two G.Os., referred to supra by us. The net effect of the judgment of this Bench is that the two orders issued by the State Government and referred to supra, can be given effect to and acted upon and for any reasons, if the respondents have not acted upon them, it does not amount to any contemptuous conduct on their part. It is for the State to act upon a policy guideline or an amended rule introduced by it.

If, for any reason, they have not chosen to act promptly, on any such policy decisions or amended rule position, that does not vest a party to sue the respondents herein in contempt of Court action." What has been set out by us in our order dated 09.10.2015 holds good even for this case. Hence, we dismiss this Contempt Case also. The notice issued on 09.10.2015 stands discharged. Consequently, the miscellaneous applications, if any shall also stand dismissed.
