Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the undertaking given by contemnor No. 1, K.T. Rajendran, to vacate the premises was binding and that his claim of partial possession was untenable. The Court emphasized that the eviction order applies to all parties involved, including K.T. Baskaran, who was found to be aiding in the non-compliance. Consequently, the Court discharged the contempt proceedings against K.T. Baskaran but upheld the eviction order against K.T. Rajendran, reinforcing the obligation to comply with court orders under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971.
