The complainant has filed the present complaint alleging willful disobedience of the order dated 27.03.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P.No.9204/2025 (GM-CPC) [impugned order]. 2. The Learned Single Judge passed an interim order directing the "parties to maintain status quo in respect of the petition schedule property" till the next date of hearing. 3. The complainant alleges that the said order is violated as the accused is harvesting the crops on the subject land. 4. We note that there is no grievance that the accused is changing the nature of the subject property, or transferring its title or possession. 5. In view of the above, we are unable to accept that the said order can be readily inferred as an order that requires that the standing crops on the subject land continue to remain untouched and consequently be rendered to waste. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33404-DB CCC No. 1015 of 2025 6.
