Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss contempt proceedings against builders for alleged violation of an injunction order, as the builders were acting under a valid decree from a civil court regarding construction on plot No.57. The Court noted that the High Court found no contempt as the construction was not in violation of its orders, and the appellants could seek remedies under law regarding the civil court decrees. The Court emphasized that the builders must comply with the High Court's orders while the writ petitions remain pending.
