STATE OF BIHAR vs RAJENDRA SINGH

The Supreme Court held that in contempt proceedings, the focus is on whether a prior court order has been complied with, not on the correctness of that order. The Court emphasized that if there is no ambiguity in the order, the aggrieved party must seek higher court intervention rather than challenge the order in contempt proceedings. The appeal by the State of Bihar was dismissed as the High Court's finding of violation was upheld, and the direction for reconsideration was deemed inappropriate without punishment for contempt.
