The complainant has filed the present complaint alleging willful disobedience of the order dated 02.04.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in Writ Petition No.9743/2025 (GM-RES) whereby the police officials were directed to cooperate and grant protection for Indian Bank to handover the possession of the subject property to the complainant. 2.

The affidavit of compliance has been filed by the accused, wherein it is affirmed that full protection was granted to the complainant and the bank officials and the subject property, which is described hereunder was handed over to the complainant: "DESCRIPTION OF THE IMMOVABLE PROPERTIES All that piece and parcel of Residential House Consisting of Ground and First Floors Measuring Site Area 549.05 feet Totally Built up Measuring 1283 feet Constructed on Site Bearing No.666, HI Katha No.256 and Property no 259A BBMP Khatha No.330/19/285/256/259A/1/666 in Ward No.198, on the Site measuring East to West 19.75 Feet and North to South 27.8 feet in all Measuring 549.05 Sq.Ft.

The learned counsel for the complainant has also drawn the attention of this Court to a Panchanama, which indicates that the complainant had taken possession of the subject property on 15.05.2025 at 2.30 p.m. The photographs of the keys being handed over to the complainant have also been placed on record. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14430-DB CCC No. 1101 of 2025 5. In this view, we are unable to accept that the accused have been guilty of any disobedience of the orders passed by this Court. However, it appears that, the original owner has once again taken over the possession of the subject property and the complainant is aggrieved by the same. 6. The learned Additional Government Advocate for the accused submits that a separate complaint in this regard has been registered and the same is being investigated. She assures this Court that necessary action in accordance with law would be taken and if it is found that the subject property has been trespassed on, the trespasser will, apart from being removed, be prosecuted. 7. In view of the above, the present complaint is closed. 8. All rights and contentions of the parties are reserved. SD/- (VIBHU BAKHRU) CHIEF JUSTICE SD/- (C.M. POONACHA) JUDGE ND/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 11
