Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's contempt ruling against the petitioner, who was sentenced to three weeks of imprisonment. The Court clarified that the suspension of the sentence, contingent upon the petitioner providing an undertaking not to commit further contempt, has now lapsed after five years. The Court dismissed the petitioner's request for modification of the earlier order and clarified that no further directions are necessary regarding the undertaking, as it has been exhausted.
