However, though no relief is sought for issuance of D-Form Patta in favour of the petitioner to avoid multiplicity of litigation, the petitioners are at liberty to make representation for issuance of D-Form Patta to the concerned authorities and on such representation, the authorities are directed to consider petitioners representation in accordance with law. 7. While disposing the said writ petition, this Court has observed (in 4th para) that though the relief is not sought by the petitioners, the authorities may be directed to consider the petitioners representation, if any before the said authorities for issuance of D-Form patta in accordance with law and accordingly given liberty to make representation for issuance of D-Form Patta to the concerned authorities and on such representation the authorities are directed to consider petitioners representation in accordance with law. 8. Based on the said ground, the petitioner has filed the present contempt case alleging that the authorities have not complied with the orders of this Court, which is not tenable. This Court, in order to avoid the multiplicity of litigation, without there being any prayer, has given the liberty to petitioner to make a representation. It would be an independent course of action of the concerned official to pass orders on the said representation, as the petitioner has not sought for such relief in that regard. In view of the same, there lies no contempt against the respondents and contempt is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, contempt case is dismissed. However, the petitioner is not precluded from approaching the appropriate authorities in accordance with law. No costs. Miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed. ___________________________ JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI BRS
