Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a contempt petition arising from a failure to comply with an eviction order under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. The Court held that the respondent's actions constituted willful disobedience of its order dated October 5, 1994, as he failed to file an undertaking and contested the execution application. Consequently, the Court found the respondent in contempt and upheld the petitioner's request for enforcement of the eviction order.
