JUSTICE S G PANDIT) Heard learned counsel Sri.Shreshail M Jatti for complainant Sri.Sharad V. Magadum, learned AGA for respondent Nos.1 to 4 and 12 and Sri.Shivaraj V. Hiremath learned counsel for respondent No.5. 2. This contempt petition is filed under Sections 11 and 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act r/w Article 215 of Constitution of India complaining disobedience of order dated 27.01.2025 in Writ Petition No.106284/2023 (Annexure-A). 3. Learned counsel for the complainant would submit that though the conversion orders are declared to be valid and subsisting, the accused-respondent Nos.6 to 11 are interfering and cutting the link road between the lay out. Learned counsel for the complainant submits that the roads are being dug by the accused Nos.6 to 11 which - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:14536-DB CCC No. 100230 of 2025 would amount to disobedience of the order passed by this Court. 4. We have carefully given our anxious consideration to the contempt petition averments as well as to the submission of the learned counsel for the complainant. 5. On hearing the learned counsel for the complainant and on perusal of the entire contempt petition papers, we are of the considered view that the allegation made by the complainant would not or cannot be considered as violation of order passed by this Court on 27.01.2025 in WP No.106284/2023. 6. This Court by order dated 27.01.2025 in WP No.106284/2023 declared that the conversion order is valid and subsisting and no consequential directions are issued. The consequences of declaring conversion order valid and subsisting would mean that conversion order is legally existing. However, if the accused Nos.6 to 11 are digging - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:14536-DB CCC No. 100230 of 2025 the road or cutting the road, it would be a separate cause of action and it is open for the complainant to take appropriate action against accused Nos.6 to 11 or avail any legal remedy available under law. 7. With the above, contempt petition stands rejected. Sd/- (S G PANDIT) JUDGE Sd/- (GEETHA K.B.) JUDGE HMB CT-CMU LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 6
