Hyderabad,July 2: A division bench comprising Justice D.S.R. Varma and Justice R. Kantha Rao of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Thursday granted stay on an order issued by a single judge to penalise Dr C.V.S.K. Sarma, the former commissioner and special officer of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, in a contempt of court case.
Earlier, a single judge imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on Mr Sarma and an assistant city planner, Ms V.S. Shama from Circle VIII of the GHMC in the case. Mr Mohammed Moinuddin, a resident of the city, had filed the contempt petition alleging that the respondents along with their subordinates with the help of labourers had forcibly demolished his shop situated in 35 square yards at Jambagh in Moazzamjahi market on April 28, 2008. The GHMC filed a writ challenging the order.
No direction on Amway ads
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan of the High Court on Thursday refused to issue notices to media houses for carrying advertisements of Amway.
The bench was dealing with a petition filed by a voluntary organisation, Corporate Frauds Watch. The petitioner asked the court to direct the government to stop Amway from doing its business which it alleged was “illegal” in nature. The court issued notices to the CID and Amway asking them to explain their behaviour.
The petitioner told the court that Amway was releasing several advertisements in both print and electronic media despite a clear judgement from the AP High Court and later from the Supreme Court to ban its business.
