Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the review petitions filed by the writ petitioners, holding that they lacked locus standi as they were not parties to the original Civil Appeal No. 1246 of 2007. The Court emphasized that the writ petitioners, being beneficiaries of the contemnors' actions, could not seek review of a contempt ruling. The Court clarified that the appropriate remedy for the petitioners lies in filing fresh writ petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution, as their previous petitions were not considered in the writ jurisdiction.
