Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's conviction of the defendant-appellant for contempt under Section 19(1)(b) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for violating an undertaking to vacate premises. The Court clarified that the order was based on express undertakings to the court, not merely a consent order, and found no merit in the appellant's argument that there was no breach. The Court emphasized that the appellant's failure to express regret or apologize further substantiated the contempt ruling.
