APHC010070262025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATI (Special Original Jurisdiction) [3332] THURSDAY ,THE THIRD DAY OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE PRESENT THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI CONTEMPT CASE NO: 411/2025 Between: Muchumarri Ramasubba Reddy, ...PETITIONER AND Sri Vandadi Gangaiah and Others ...CONTEMNOR(S) Counsel for the Petitioner: 1. DODDAKA HARSHA VARDHAN Counsel for the Contemnor(S): 1. The Court made the following: ORDER: This Contempt Case is filed under Sections 10 to 12 of Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for the willful disobedience of the orders dated 12.09.2024 passed in W.P.No.36192 of 2022. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though there is specific direction of this Court to respondent Nos.2 & 3, they are highhandedly interfering with the petitioners property, as such, they are liable for punishment under the contempt of the Court Act, accordingly, prayed to pass appropriate orders. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for respondents submitted that there is no such direction to the respondent Nos.2 & 3 not to interfere with the petitioners possession, however, if at all the petitioner has any grievance with the interference of the respondent Nos.2 & 3, he has to ventilate his grievance before appropriate forum. This Court cannot adjudicate the same under Contempt of Courts Act. 4. Perused the record. 5. This Court has categorically observed that since the proceedings impugned in writ petition shows that the petitioner is in possession of the property and hence the Tahsildar instead of issuing impugned proceedings ought to have directed the parties to go to civil Court. 6. As rightly contended by the learned counsel for the respondents, if the petitioner has any grievance against the interference of the unofficial respondents, he has to approach competent Civil Court but the Contempt Court is not a platform where he can ventilate his grievance, as such, the contempt case is liable to be dismissed. 7. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed. _____________________________ JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI Date: 03rd April, 2025 RKS
