The court emphasizes compliance with prior court directives in relation to pole rent disputes.

Headnote:This judgment addresses issues regarding pole rent following government/board directives. The court notes that the Board will issue fresh demands aligned with a prior judgment. In light of this, the contempt cases are closed. The primary findings illustrate the board's compliance with judicial instructions, alongside ongoing deliberations regarding pole rent structures. The court refrains from further contempt proceedings due to the Board's commitment to follow judicial directions.

JUDGMENT

The issue in these cases relates to the pole rent based on the Government/ Board orders. The learned Standing Counsel for the Board submits that in view of the judgment passed in W.P.(C) No.40017 of 2024 and connected cases on 05.02.2026, the Board will issue fresh demands in terms of the directions therein, subject to orders, if any, in the appeal. This is recorded.

Accordingly, I am not inclined to proceed further in these contempt of Court cases, and these are closed.
