Chander Pal Singh & Ors vs Ajay Kumar Joshi & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed contempt petitions under Sections 2 & 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, asserting that the respondents willfully disobeyed its prior judgment affirming that Kurk Amins are government servants entitled to the same pay scale as Amins in the Revenue Department. The Court reiterated that the respondents' failure to comply with the order constituted contempt, thereby upholding the rights of the petitioners to be treated as civil servants. The Court ordered appropriate action against the respondents for their non-compliance.
