5. From the evidence on record, it is apparent that despite the order dated 7th February 2024 the Applicants have deliberately refused to comply. 6. For the above reasons I do find that the application is meritorious. The Applicant has spent much time and energy over an issue which has been long determined by the Court. They have willfully disobeyed the orders of 7th March 2024. 7. In the premises the application is hereby allowed as prayed with costs to the Applicant.
