Telangana High Court: Notice to Collector in contempt appeal

Earlier a single judge allowed contempt proceedings to be initiated against the District Collector and imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 to be borne by the official personally for not following the orders of the court



in deleting the property at Saroornagar mandal from the prohibitory list of Section 22A of the Registration Act. 

The panel raised a question to the Special Government Pleader appearing on behalf of District Collector stating why can’t the officer pay up Rs 5,000 and close the matter instead of litigating the same and spending the public exchequer.
