We have heard the arguments and perused the direction of the learned Single Judge and the compliance affidavit filed by the accused. It is not in dispute that the representation of the complainant is considered by the accused and the same was rejected by an endorsement dated 22.04.2024. Insofar as the contention of the complainant that the authorities have interfered with the subject property before consideration of the representation, in our considered view, the said fact has been disputed by the accused, hence, the same cannot be gone into in this present proceeding. It is open for the complainant to workout remedies in accordance with law. 5. In view of the aforesaid submission and endorsement, the Contempt of Court case is closed, - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:18157-DB CCC No. 1116 of 2023 liberty is reserved to seek compensation to acquired land as well as the structure, if any in accordance with law.
