Today again there is no representa%on on behalf of appellants – Baldev Singh and another. On the last date of hearing also, nobody had put in appearance for the said appellants.

The present pe%%on was therea?er filed by the plain%ff-respondent in RSA alleging that, despite the said direc%on, the appellants in RSA had tried to lay founda%on by digging over the property in dispute, thereby commiAng civil contempt within the meaning of Sec%on 2(b) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. However, learned counsel for the plain%ff-respondent-pe%%oner did not press the aforesaid COCP. Accordingly, the same stands disposed of being not pressed.
