Heard learned counsel for the petitioner(s) and learned counsel for the respondents. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners herein is that this Hon’ble Court after hearing the matter at length, passed an order dated 14.10.2022 in W.P.No.17513 of 2021, which is extracted hereunder: “In view of the above and in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the requests/ representations of the petitioners and the villagers of Kamalakuru Village for establishment of a Villager Secretariat at Kamalakuru Village basing upon the availability of funds, since said village is entitled to have a village secretariat on its own by virtue of population as per G.O.Ms.No.110 dated 19.07.2019. While considering the requests/ representations of the petitioners, the 2nd respondent shall provide an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and the villagers of kamalakuru and pass speaking orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4. The allegation of the petitioners herein is that even though this Court specifically directed the 2nd respondent to consider the representation of the 4 petitioners with reference to the terms of G.O.Ms.No.110, dated 19.07.2019 i.e., particularly with reference to the population of the subject village, the proposed shifting of village secretariat from Kamalakuru to Manyamvaripalli of Atloor Mandal, YSR Kadapa District is contrary to the orders of this Court and also contrary to the terms of the G.O.Ms.No.110 dated 19.07.2019. Moreso, the 2nd respondent also issued a speaking order dated 07.11.2023 to that effect, which is in violation of the orders of this Court. Therefore, the 2nd respondent herein is liable for punishment under Section 10 to 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for respondent No.1 furnished proceedings dated 22.12.2023 issued by the 2nd respondent in the present contempt proceedings, wherein, it is categorically stated that the proposal and shifting of the village secretariat from Kamalakuru to Manyamvaripalli of Atloor Mandal were cancelled. In view of such cancellation, the claim of the petitioner that proposed village secretariat cannot be shifted from Kamalakuru to Manyamvaripalli of Atloor Mandal was addressed by the respondents. Therefore, there is no cause of action on part of the respondents to allege that there is deviation to the orders of this Court. As such, the present contempt case is liable to be closed against the respondent No.2 and against the other respondents in the present contempt petition. 6. Learned counsel for the respondents further submits that the petitioners herein also filed another writ petition vide W.P.No.30592 of 2023 questioning the speaking order dated 07.11.2023 passed by the 2nd respondent in the contempt 5 petition. But, the said writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn. Even in the lieu of withdrawal of the said writ petition and in view of the cancellation of proposed shifting of village secretariat from Kamalakuru to Manyamvaripalli of Atloor Mandal, there is no cause of action to make out contempt case against the respondents. 7. Considering the submissions made by both the learned counsel and on perusal of the material placed on record, in view of the written proceedings dated 22.12.2023 under which the proposed action of the respondents in shifting the village secretariat from Kamalakuru to Manyamvaripalli of Atloor Mandal was cancelled, there is no cause of action to make out contempt case against the respondents. Since the claim of the petitioner was redressed by the respondents, no further orders are necessary. 8. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the contempt case shall stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 24.11.2025 BSP 6 04 HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA (closed) Contempt Case No.6891 of 2023 24.11.2025 BSP
