Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the interlocutory application filed by the petitioner-tenant, who failed to vacate the premises despite a prior undertaking and the dismissal of his Special Leave Petition under Article 136. The Court held that the actions of the petitioner and the Commissioner of Chennai constituted contempt of court, as they attempted to undermine the Court's authority by obtaining a stay from the High Court against the eviction order. The Court ordered immediate eviction of the petitioner and issued contempt notices to both the petitioner and the Commissioner for their collusive actions.
