ORAL ORDER
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI)
The wilful disobedience of the order dated 26.04.2025 in W.P.No.13317/2017 is alleged.
2. By the order of the writ Court, the direction was given to the Commissioner, BBMP to consider the representation and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law. The affidavit is filed, which is sworn by Sachin H.P., the Executive Engineer on 11.09.2026. In the endorsement of 08.09.2026, which is passed by the Executive Engineer it is stated that a fresh application was submitted on 13.06.2025 along with documents to the then Chief Commissioner, BBMP. On 02.09.2025, the BBMP was divided into 5 City Corporation under Greater Bengaluru Authority. It is stated therein that the present limit has fallen within Bengaluru North City Corporation. Accordingly, the endorsement has been made.
3. Learned counsel for the complainants states that the order of the writ Court has been complied with.
