Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed a Special Leave Petition challenging the Patna High Court's order which declined to initiate contempt proceedings against the respondents. The High Court found that, although the respondents' conduct was not fair, the judgment had been complied with, and thus no further action was warranted. The Supreme Court held that the contempt jurisdiction should not be used for personal vengeance and found no perversity in the High Court's order, affirming its decision.
