BEJAWADA CHENGALA RAO, NOW WORKING AS SPECIAL DEPUTY COLLECTOR (LAND ACQUISITION), SOMASILA PROJECT,UNIT-IV,RAJAMPET,KADAPA DISTRICT. ...CONTEMNOR Counsel for the Petitioner(S): 9 1. VENKATESWARLU CHAKKILAM Counsel for the Contemnor: 1. GP FOR LAND ACQUISITION (AP) The Court made the following: ORAL ORDER: None for the Petitioners. 2. The present Contempt Case is filed complaining of inaction on the part of the Respondents in complying with the directions issued by this Court on 24.12.2013 in W.P.No.12961 of 2002. 3. The Operative portion of the Order dated 24.12.2013 in W.P.No.12961 of 2002 is usefully extracted hereunder: “5. In the instant case, as per the petitioners herein, awards were passed on 08.03.1994 and 11.03.1994 and the applications under Section 18 of the Act were filed on 06.04.1994. Therefore, this Court does not find any justification on the part of the respondent in not responding to the said applications. 6. For the aforesaid reasons and as per the facts available on record, this writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent herein to take appropriate action on the applications submitted by the petitioners herein for reference under Section 18 of the Act, if they are found to be within the time stipulated under Section 18 of the Act, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of this order. No order as to costs.” 4. The above extract would indicate that the Respondents were required to consider the Applications submitted by the Writ Petitioners seeking reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. 5. In the Counter-Affidavit filed by the sole Respondent, who was then officiating as Special Deputy Collector (LA), Somasila Project, Unit IV, Rajampet, it has been categorically stated in Paras 5 and 6 that, in pursuance of the Orders of this Court, the Office of the Special Deputy Collector 10 thoroughly verified the records and found that no Applications of the Petitioners were pending in the Office 6. It is also stated that the office of the Respondent addressed letters dated 15.05.2017, 31.05.2017 and 31.03.2018 to the learned Advocate for the Petitioners, Sri G.S. Murthy, informing him that the Petitioners had not filed any applications under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act and therefore no Applications were referred under Section 18 of the Act. It is further stated that an endorsement was also issued to the Petitioners on 23.05.2018. 7. Paras 5 and 6 of the Counter-Affidavit filed by the Special Deputy Collector (LA), Somasila Project, Unit IV, Rajampet, are usefully extracted hereunder: “5. I respectfully submit that I have joined as Special Deputy Collector, Somasila Project, Unit-IV, Rajampet on 14.10.2015. I humbly submit that after my joining, I have received a letter dt: 06.04.2017 from one Sri. G.S.Murthy, Advocate addressed to SDC, SSP Unit- IV, Rajampet, requesting to send the applications U/s 18 of the L.A. Act by the claimant to District Court, Kadapa. In pursuant to the above letter, it was verified thoroughly in the office and sent replies vide this office letter dt: 15.05.2017, 31.05.2017 and 31.03.2018 to the Advocate for the petitioner Sri. G.S. Murthy, informing him that the writ petitioners have not filed any application U/s 18 of L.A. Act and no applications were referred to Civil Court U/s 18 of L.A. Act and also an endorsement was also issued to the writ petitioners vide reference D/11/2017, dt: 23.05.2018. 6. It is humbly submitted that I have given reply to the advocate for the writ petitioners and also an endorsement also issued to the writ petitioners in Telugu Language. Hence it is submitted I have not violated the orders this Hon'ble High Court. I have got highest respect and regards to this Hon'ble Court.” 8. Having considered the above facts, this Court is of the opinion that the Petitioners have failed to make out a case for Contempt, inasmuch as the Petitioners had not filed any Application before the Special Deputy Collector 11 (LA), and therefore the question of referring such Applications under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act does not arise. 9. Accordingly, this Contempt Case is closed. No order as to costs. 10. Interlocutory Applications, if any, stand closed in terms of this order. ______________________________________ GANNAMANENIRAMAKRISHNA PRASAD, J Dt: 13.11.2025 DSV 12 242 HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GANNAMANENI RAMAKRISHNA PRASAD CONTEMPT CASE NO: 1146/2018 13.11.2025 DSV 13 HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATHI MAIN CASE No. CONTEMPT CASE NO: 1146/2018 PROCEEDING SHEET Sl.
