Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the issuance of a corrigendum to a charge memorandum during the pendency of an interim stay order constituted a violation of the stay, thereby interfering with the administration of justice. The Court emphasized that such actions undermine the authority of judicial orders and the integrity of the legal process. Consequently, the charge memorandum and the corrigendum were quashed, and the pending Original Application before the Tribunal was directed to be closed, affirming the High Court's decision.
