Whether the unauthorized construction is made by the respondents 6 and 7 or by the petitioner are all to be dealt with in accordance with law. However, we do not find any willful disobedience on the part of the respondents, warranting an action under the Contempt of Courts Act. Thus, this Contempt Petition is closed.
