The Court made the following Common Judgment:

(per Hon'ble Sri Justice R. Raghunandan Rao)

The 1®* respondent, being aggrieved by taking over of Ac.0.35 cents of land in Rs.No.57/1 of Yenamalakuduru Village, Penamalur Mandal, had approached this Court by way of W.P.No.8745 of 2015.

A learned Single Judge of the erstwhile High Court of Andhra Pradesh had passed an order, dated 01.04.2015, directing maintenance of status-quo. 2.

Thereafter, the 1®' respondent approached the learned Single Judge, by way of C.C.No.1041 of 2015, contending that the possession of the aforesaid land has been taken over despite the orders of the learned Single Judge. 3.

The learned Single Judge, after hearing both sides and considering the contention of the appellants that, the possession of the land had been taken over even prior to the orders of the Court, had held the appellants guilty of violation of the orders of the Court, while dismissing the Contempt Case against two other respondents in the Contempt Case, by an order, dated 4. 12.10.2015.

5. Aggrieved by the said orders, the appellants have moved these two Contempt Appeals before this Court.

Smt.Pulipati Radhika, learned counsel appearing for the 1®' respondent, submWs .hal the possess\on of the \and has been given back to the respondent-Tempie and the lease of the said land has also been auctioned. The 1"^ respondent-Temple is receiving rents from the sai^^pife 6. A

She further submits that, in such circumstances, the appellants have purged themselves of the Contempt of the orders of this Court. 7.

In that view of the matter, these Contempt Appeals are allowed. 8.

sequel, interlocutory applications pending, if any shall stand As ^a closed.
