The petitioner did not even state in the contempt petition that in the main matter a miscellaneous petition (C.M.P.No.26004/1988) dated 26th August, 1988 was filed seeking possession of Bungalow No.2 of Swadeshi House. That application was dismissed in terms of the order dated 3rd August, 1989 observing that it would not prejudice the rights of the parties to move an appropriate court in accordance with law.
