Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the contempt application against the respondents, affirming the findings of the Single Judge that there was no violation of the conditions set forth by the Court or the Division Bench. The Court held that the construction of the underground air-conditioned market and associated structures was permitted under the sanctioned plan and necessary for functionality. The Court criticized the applicants for their repeated attempts to obstruct the development scheme aimed at enhancing civic amenities in Calcutta, ultimately upholding the legitimacy of the construction.
