What is this about?
This is a contempt case where the petitioner alleged that respondents trespassed and demolished constructions on his property in violation of a judgment direction. The single judge held that the action was necessary to clear a pathway for essential inspection of a power house tail race channel and did not damage the petitioner's residence, and thus closed the case.
