Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a contempt petition filed by the petitioner alleging non-compliance with prior court directions regarding the preparation of a seniority list. While the respondent-State claimed full compliance, the petitioner disputed these assertions. The Court ruled that where factual disputes exist regarding the extent of compliance, contempt proceedings are not the appropriate remedy and the aggrieved party should instead file a fresh petition for the remaining grievances.
