In any event, as the possession of the garages has been taken over by individual flat owners and not by Resident Welfare Association who had filed the writ petitions, no useful purpose would be served by continuing with the present proceedings.
Accordingly, present contempt petitions are dismissed, but petitioners are given liberty to initiate proceedings in accordance with law for recovery of possession of their alleged garages and also for recovery of damages/compensation.
