2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that order passed under Section 24 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 was complied after the interference of the contempt court. He further contends that again the pillar, which was affixed, has been removed by the private respondents. The petitioner moved application on 18.06.2025 before the revenue authority under Section 22/23 of the Code, which is pending consideration. The sole prayer made in the writ petition is for expeditious disposal of the same.
