P.G. Patra vs Puran Foods & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's finding of civil contempt against the appellants under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for violating an injunction order that restrained the disconnection of electricity to respondent no.1. The Court confirmed that the electricity supply to respondent no.1 was unlawfully disconnected despite the injunction, resulting in spoilage of goods. The Court modified the sentence for the Junior Engineer from civil imprisonment to a fine, while affirming the fine imposed on the Executive Engineer, thus emphasizing the importance of adherence to court orders.
