2. The learned counsel appearing for the accused has filed a memo enclosing therewith an endorsement 16.04.2026 issued by the Additional Land Acquisition Officer, BDA which in effect rejects the complainant's representation.
3. Although the complainant has her grievance against the said endorsement, the same cannot be examined in these proceedings. Since the complainant's representation has been disposed of, no proceedings for disobedience of the order passed by this Court can be initiated.
4. The complaint is, accordingly, closed.
5. We clarify that this order will not preclude the complainant from availing substantive remedies, albeit in accordance with law.
