Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning contempt proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, where a litigant and his advocate faced penalties for making scurrilous allegations against judicial figures. The Court noted that both respondents had served their sentences and paid fines, and accepted their unconditional apology for other contempt cases. The Court held that since the contempt actions occurred prior to their conviction, further action was unnecessary, and thus disposed of the appeals without additional penalties.
