There upon, a requisition was filed before the learned VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad and after receiving due permission, Petty Case Nos.404, 405 and 406 of 2016 were registered under Sections 323 and 506 IPC. In the light of the afore-stated developments, this Court finds no disobedience, much less willful disobedience, to the order passed by this Court warranting exercise of contempt jurisdiction.

The Contempt Case is accordingly closed.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
