Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the execution of its earlier order dated February 5, 1993, requiring the presence of Dr. H. Borobabu Singh in court, emphasizing that the proceedings are against him in a capacity other than as Speaker of the Assembly. The Court noted Dr. Singh's persistent defiance of its authority and jurisdiction, which led to the current situation. Ultimately, the contempt proceedings were dropped after Dr. Singh expressed willingness to appear before the Court.
