G.Srinivas, v. Sri Sridhar, I.A.S.,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN Contempt Case No.1894 of 2013 ORDER:

Sri C.Raghu, learned counsel for the petitioners, states that since the respondents have initiated action under the A.P. Land Encroachment Act (for short "the Act"), the order of this Court, in W.P.M.P.No.9548 of 2013 in W.P.No.7613 of 2013 dated 15.03.2013, cannot be said to have been violated; and the petitioners would question the notice issued under the Act in appropriate legal proceedings. As the action initiated by the respondents under the Act is in accordance with the order of this Court aforementioned, the respondents cannot be said to have violated the order of this Court, much less willfully and deliberately. I see no reason, therefore, to proceed against the respondents under the Contempt of Courts Act.

The Contempt Case is, accordingly, closed. The Contempt Applications, pending, if any, shall also stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
