In fact, notice dated 16.07.2012 was issued to the petitioners and their family members intimating the rejection of their request to extend the lease by private negotiations, to which petitioners gave reply requesting time, because of the standing crop in the land. Considering the same, the petitioners’ possession was not disturbed till harvesting the crop. Later the auction was conducted. The outcome of auction, the highest bidder bid was Rs.90,000/- and earlier, the petitioners were giving lease amount of Rs.8,000/-. 7. Thus, as seen from the material, the Court, while disposing of the writ petition directed the respondents to follow due process of law to evict the petitioners from the subject lands. Accordingly, an auction was conducted and the land in question was handed over to the highest bidder. In respect of agricultural lands, no separate eviction proceedings are necessary. In the considered opinion of this Court, the petitioners were evicted by following due process of law. This Court does not find any violation in the order dated 30.04.2015. 8. Hence, this contempt case is closed. No costs. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________________ JUSTICE SUBBA REDDY SATTI Date: 04.03.2025 IKN 152 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SUBBA REDDY SATTI CONTEMPT CASE NO: 1129 of 2015 Date: 04.03.2025 IKN
