APHC010215832026 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATI CONTEMPT CASE NO: 1731 of 2026 Bench Sr.No:- 19 [3506] B. Murthy Raju ...Petitioner Vs. G. Sai Prasad I.A.S and Others ...Contemnor(s) ********** Advocate for Petitioner: KIRAN KUMAR VADLAMUDI Advocate for Contemnor: CORAM : SRI JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN DATE : 8th May 2026 The Court made the following ORDER: The present Contempt Case has been filed alleging non-compliance with the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.15452 of 2025, dated 26.06.2025. It is stated that Writ Court, in aforesaid writ petition, issued the following direction: “In view of the aforesaid statement, it would suffice to dispose of the writ petition by directing respondents to conclude the inquiry within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of the order and in case the inquiry is not concluded, proceedings against petitioner stand quashed.” 2. Ms. A.V. Sai Praneetha, learned counsel, representing Sri Kiran Kumar Vadlamudi, learned counsel for petitioner, states that though respondents have concluded the enquiry and 2 dropped the disciplinary action vide G.O.Rt.No.354, Water Resources (VIG.I.) Department, dated 04.07.2025, the period of suspension has not been regularized and the pay and allowances have not been complied with, including non-settlement of the service records. 3. On perusal of the directions issued by Writ Court, as mentioned supra, it is evident that the Court merely directed respondents to conclude the enquiry within a period of three (03) months and in case the enquiry is not concluded, the disciplinary proceedings initiated against writ petitioner stands quashed. The grievance of petitioner with regard to regularization of the period of suspension and release of pay and allowances, completely give raise to a fresh cause of action and does not form part of directions issued by Writ Court. 4. In that view of the matter, this Court does not find any merit in the case and is liable to be dismissed. 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 CHALLA GUNARANJAN Date: 08.05.2026 ANS 3 214 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN CONTEMPT CASE NO: 1731 of 2026 Date: 08.05.2026 ANS
