SMT. SAVITHRAMMA vs CECIL NARONHA & ANR.

The Supreme Court emphasized the necessity of strict adherence to the Supreme Court Rules, particularly Rules 5 and 13, when filing affidavits, especially in cases involving allegations of mala fides or disobedience of court orders. The Court found both the complainant's and the accused's affidavits to be vague, general, and non-compliant with the required standards, leading to their rejection. Consequently, the contempt petition was also dismissed, but the parties were granted an opportunity to file proper affidavits.
