He submitted that the court orders for appearance were conveyed to the previous assistant commissioner who had been transferred.

He apologized over non-implementation of the court orders.

Subsequently, the court withdrew bailable arrest warrants of assistant commissioner issued on Wednesday.

The court also disposed of the petition after declaring the same as ineffective.

The court directed the petitioners to approach the court concerned for possession of their land.
