_1_ HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO ( qONTEMPT CASE No.754 o ORDER:
On 22.08.2019, in W.P.No.l824O of 2019, direction was issued to the respondents not to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the land in Survey Nos.130, 131, 132 and 160 of Thalla Vellemla Village of Chityal Mandal, Nalgonda District, provided the petitioner was not already dispossessed. Alleging that the said orders are violated and the i respondents are trying to dispossess the petitioner from the I subject lands, without following due process, this contempt case is filed.
2.
In the counter-affidavit deposed by Sri M.Ikishna Reddy working as Tahsildar, Chityal Mandal, it is stated that in Survey No. 134, total extent of land is Acs.8.16 guntas. Out of this extent, Acs.5.05 guntas was acquired. This included an extent of Ac.0.34 72 guntas of land acquired from the father of the petitioner. Further, the petitioner's father owns Ac. 1.16 guntas of land in Survey No. 134. After the said acquisition, Ac.0.2172 guntas of land left with the family of the petitioner. Father of the petitioner alienated the balance extent of land and the purchasers have already constructed houses. It, is therefore, asserted that no land is available to the petitioner in Survey No.134. It is further asserted that the respondents are not interfering with the land of the petitioner in Survey Nos. 13O, 131, 132 and 160. 3.
The averments in the affidavit frled in support of the contempt case itself state that there was an attempt to dispossess and the deponent asserts that he is not interfering with the other
..-- -_-=:-=_.-* -1 extent of land and to the extent of land acquired only, the Government is in possession. Therefore, it cannot be said that the directions of this Court are violated much less deliberately and willfully warranting initiation of contempt proceedings. 4.
The contempt case is accordingly closed, leaving it open to the petitioner to prosecute the pending writ petition. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. SD/.C,V.MALLIKARJUNA VARMA DEPUry REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// \A.-/ \ SECTION OFFICER To,
