Case brief
What is this about?
Andhra Pradesh High Court contempt case closed; Sections 10 to 12 Contempt of Courts Act 1971; alleged willful violation of status quo order dated 07.05.2015 passed in W.P.No.14328 of 2015 by erstwhile High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad; respondents laying road through petitioners' agricultural lands at Kandaluru, Nellore Rural Mandal, SPSR Nellore District; contemnors: District Collector Smt M Janaki, RDO Nellore Sri K Venkateswarlu, Tahsildar Nellore Rural Mandal Sri P Janardhana Rao, General Manager A.P. Rajiv Swagruha Corporation Limited Sri S Ramasubbu; road construction already under process when interim order passed; no violation of directions of the Court; petitioners filed no reply; no reason to continue contempt proceedings; Contempt Case closed; pending miscellaneous petitions closed; single bench Justice R Raghunandan Rao; Amaravati; 27.02.2026.
What did the court decide?
Since counsel for the respondents had stated before the Learned Single Judge that the land had been taken and the road was already under construction when the interim order issued (i.e., no violation of the Court's directions), and the petitioners filed no reply despite being given time, this Court does not find any reason to continue the present contempt proceedings; accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed.
