3 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE T.C.D. SEKHAR
CONTEMPT CASE No.3994 OF 2025
ORDER:-
1. The present Contempt Case is filed alleging that the respondent Nos.1 to 6 have violated the interim order dt.03.10.2025 passed by this Court. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that, after the interim order the 2nd respondent disconnected the power supply to the building in dispute and caused inconvenience to the functioning of the machinery installed therein. 3. A perusal of the record, it is evident that the building in dispute was partly demolished as on the date of filing of the writ petition. 4.
After hearing, this Court directed the parties to maintain status-quo in the matter. Except making a bald allegation against the respondents in the affidavit filed in support of the contempt case, nothing is placed on record to show that the respondents have violated the order passed by this Court. 5. As already noted supra, the building in dispute was partly demolished and therefore the question of causing inconvenience to the machinery installed therein does not arise. Further, while passing the interim order, this Court directed the parties to maintain status-quo, that does not mean that the petitioner is allowed to run the machinery. Apart from the same, it is the specific case of the respondents that the
4 possession of the demised building was taken over even before the filing of the writ petition and undertaken the demolition of the same. 6. In such circumstances, it cannot be held that the respondents have violated the interim order passed by this Court on
03.10.2025. 7. In view of the above, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner has miserably failed to establish that the respondents have flouted the orders of this Court. 8. Accordingly there are no merits in the contempt case and the same is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________ JUSTICE T.C.D. SEKHAR 27.02.2026 DR/RMR
