Hence, the contempt case. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents filed counter-affidavit of respondent No.3, wherein it is stated that in view of the orders of this Court respondents are not interfering with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioners and not initiated any action against the petitioners. Therefore, the respondents neither violated and nor disobeyed the orders of this Court. 4. Heard the submissions made by both the learned counsel and perused the material placed on record. On perusal of the counter-affidavit, it is observed that the respondents clearly and categorically stated that in view of the interim order of this Court dated 17.03.2025, they are not interfering with the possession of the property and they did not initiate any action against the petitioners. In view of the clear and categorical admission on the part of the 4 respondents that they are not interfering with the possession of the property, there is no element of deviation or disobedience on the part of the respondents. As such, the petitioners have not made out any contempt case against the respondents. Hence, no further orders are necessary. 5. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed. No order as to costs. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the contempt case shall stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 01.04.2026 TTPPSS 5 49 HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA (closed) CONTEMPT CASE NO: 2270/2025 01.04.2026 TTPPSS
