Pursuant to the orders of this Court dated 27.04.2026, respondent Nos.4 to 8 appeared and pleaded ignorance. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents brought to the notice of this Court that, though the petitioner's grievance is primarily with regard to the erection of an electric pole at H.No.7-30/49, the petitioner is, in fact, having two houses, namely, H.No.7-30/49 and H.No.7-66/85, situated opposite Vinayaka Temple Street, Old Town, Anaparthy Village and Mandal, East Godavari District. 4. In view of the interim directions granted by this Court, the Gram Panchayat has marked the location for erection of the pole behind the petitioner's house bearing H.No.7-66/85. 5. Considering the aforesaid submissions and also taking into account the ignorance pleaded by respondent Nos.4 to 8, this Court is of the opinion that there is no willful disobedience of the order passed by this Court. Hence, the personal appearance of respondent Nos.4 to 8 is hereby dispensed with. 6. Accordingly, the Contempt Case is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed __________________ JUSTICE D RAMESH Dated : 19.06.2026 TJN 297 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D RAMESH CONTEMPT CASE NO: 2573/2025 Dated : 19.06.2026 TJN
