The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a Special Appeal against an interim order in contempt jurisdiction, clarifying that such appeals are permissible under the Contempt of Court Act, 1971. The Court emphasized that the interim order issued by the High Court indicated a prima facie case of contempt regarding the Government Order allowing a medical college to collect fees, despite the college not being a party to the original writ petition. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to issue notice to the contemnors, reinforcing the importance of adherence to judicial directives.
