There shall be a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 not to proceed with the erection of poles and laying distribution lines through property of the petitioners without following due process of law.” 2. It is alleged in the contempt case that though the said order was communicated to the respondents and they were requested not to give electrical connection to the 4th respondent in the main writ petition by erecting poles in the lands of the petitioners, the respondents proceeded further and erected the poles through the lands of the petitioners and provided electrical connection to the 4th respondent. 3. Sri K.Gopal, learned counsel for the petitioners, vehemently contended that the said action of the respondents being in violation of the order passed by this Court, they are liable to be punished under the provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 4. At the outset, it is to be noticed that the direction of this Court is that the respondents 1 to 3 shall not proceed with the erection of poles and laying distribution lines through the property of the petitioners without following due process of law. Whether the action of the respondents in erecting the poles and laying distribution lines through the property of the petitioners is in accordance with law or not, is the question which requires to be decided in the main writ petition. 5. Smt. Jyothi Eswar Gogineni, learned counsel for the respondents, on instructions submitted that a Counter-Affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents in the main writ petition and a vacate petition W.V.M.P.No.3970 of 2011 has been moved to vacate the interim order dated 13-9-2011. 6.
