The said affidavits clearly indicate that the complainant has not paid the stamp duty as ordered. Hence, the second portion of the - 5 - CCC No. 958 of 2024 order to enter the sale certificate in book No. 1 has been complied as evident from Annexure-R1. 3. Learned counsel for the complainant disputes the same and states that the sale consideration is not reflected in E. C. We are not agreeing with the said submission as there is no such direction in the order of the learned Single Judge.

Hence, contempt proceedings are dropped as there is no willful disobedience of the order of the learned Single Judge. 4. Notice issued to the accused shall stand discharged. 5. All contentions urged in the contempt petition are kept open. Sd/- (ANU SIVARAMAN) JUDGE Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) JUDGE GH/List No. : 3 Sl No. : 58
