Subramanian Swamy vs Hari Bhaskar

The Supreme Court dismissed a contempt petition against the respondent, the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu, for alleged violation of an undertaking given to the Court. The Court found that there was insufficient evidence to establish when the documents were tampered with, noting that the Special Judge had indicated a lack of material to determine the timeline of events. Consequently, the Court held that without conclusive proof of the respondent's responsibility for the tampering, it could not find him guilty of contempt under the Contempt of Court Act.
