THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 14.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED
THE FOLLOWING:
CON.CASE(C) NO. 1480 OF 2021 2
JUDGMENT
This Contempt Case is filed contending that the 1st respondent has
wilfully flouted the interim order dated 26.07.2021 passed by this Court.
2. When the writ petition had come up for admission, while issuing
notice to the respondents, this Court had directed the 1st respondent to
ensure that law and order is maintained.
3. Mrs. P.K.Pamala submitted that when the petitioner's husband,
her son and workmen went to the property to construct the boundary wall
on 26.7.2021, the date of passing of the interim order, they were obstructed
by the party respondents and though assistance was sought, the 1st
respondent refused to intervene.
4. From the submissions, it appears that the petitioner had already
approached this Court and had filed W.P.(C) No.17389 of 2021 seeking a
direction to the Taluk Surveyor to demarcate the property of the petitioner
herein. This Court had only directed the police to maintain law and order
and had not granted any protection to the petitioner to construct the
boundary wall. The learned Government pleader submits that no incident of
the nature alleged had taken place on that day. There are no materials
before this Court to conclude that a law and order situation had arisen as
contended by the petitioner.
5. The writ petition is still pending and the petitioner may pursue
her remedies in the writ petition. I do not think that any case of contempt is
made out.
This Contempt Case is dismissed.
