VIJAY SINGH, SECY., D/O. HOME vs MITTHANLAL HINDOLIYA

The Supreme Court held that the Madhya Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's order regarding the correction of the respondent's date of birth was valid, as the Director General of Police had duly considered the representation and rejected it. The Court found that there was no willful disobedience of the Tribunal's order, thus the contempt proceedings initiated under Section 12 of the Contempt of Court Act were unwarranted. The appeal was allowed, and the Tribunal's directions were set aside.
