CH VENKAT RAMAN Counsel for the Contemnor(S): 1. M VENKATA RAMANA REDDY 2 3 The Court made the following ORAL ORDER: Heard Sri Ch.L. Narasimha Rao, Ld. Counsel appearing on behalf of Sri Ch. Venkata Raman, Ld. Counsel for the Petitioner and Sri M. Venkata Ramana Reddy, Ld. Counsel for the Respondents. 2. The present case is filed complaining of violation of the Interim Order of Status quo dated 21.12.2024 in W.P.No.30279 of 2024 by the Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 (Unofficial Respondent Nos. 7 and 8 in the Writ Petition). The relevant portion of the Interim Order dated 21.12.2024, is usefully extracted hereunder: “6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of this Case, there shall be a direction to all parties to maintain Status-Quo obtaining as on today until further orders. 7. There shall also be further direction to the Unofficial Respondents not to create any third party rights either by way of lease, sale or by any other mode of alienation, until further orders.” 3. The above extract would indicate that this Court had not only directed the parties to maintain Status quo obtaining as on the said date, but also further directed the Unofficial Respondent Nos. 7 and 8 not to create any third party rights either by way of lease, sale or by any other mode of alienation, until further orders. 4. In compliance with the Order of this Court dated 12.12.2025, the two Contemnors (who are arrayed as Respondent Nos. 7 and 8 in the Writ Petition) are present. 5. Ld. Counsel for the Respondents submits that a Sale Deed was executed by the Respondent No.7 (in the Writ Petition) in favour of the Respondent No.8 (in the Writ Petition). On perusal of the Registered Sale Deed bearing Document No.126 of 2024, dated 01.01.2024, it transpires that the said document was presented for registration on 11.01.2024 and it was registered on the said date. When this Court has perused the Affidavit filed in support of this Writ Petition, it is noticed that there is no reference to this 4 particular transaction in the Writ Petition. Therefore, the Order of Status quo with a further direction not to create any third party rights as on 26.12.2024, did not cover the transaction between the Respondent No.7 and 8 (in Writ Petition) by way of registered Sale Deed dated 11.01.2024 bearing document No.126 of 2024. The Registered Sale Deed dated 11.12.2024 would further indicate that the Respondent No.7 has already handed over the possession of the subject land in favour of the Respondent No.8. 6. In view of the above discussion, this Court is of the opinion that the Respondents herein have not violated the Order of Status quo or with regard to alienation of the property by creating any third party rights, inasmuch as the sale was registered way back on 11.01.2024 which had taken place almost 11 months before the Order of Status quo was passed by this Court. Hence, there is no merit in this Contempt Case and therefore, this Contempt Case is liable to be dismissed. 7. Accordingly, this Contempt Case is dismissed. No order to costs. 8. Interlocutory Applications, if any, stand closed in terms of this order. _________________________________ GANNAMANENI RAMAKRISHNA PRASAD, J Dt: 24.12.2025 Mnr 5 80 HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GANNAMANENI RAMAKRISHNA PRASAD CONTEMPT CASE No.2211 OF 2025 Dt: 24.12.2025 Mnr
