EXECUTIVE OFFICER TTD vs D NAGULU NAIDU

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order under Article 215, which directed the contemnor to appear for sentencing due to willful non-compliance with a prior order in Writ Petition No. 14282 of 1994. The Court noted that the respondent's regularization as a helper instead of an electrician was in accordance with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Employees Services Rules, 1989, which classified the electrician's post as promotional. The Court emphasized that the respondent's claim for regularization from the date of initial appointment was not tenable as the post of electrician was not available at that time.
