Gurminder Singh Kang vs Shiv Prasad Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the contempt of court proceedings against the appellant for violating the High Court's order dated 21.8.1995 in CWJC No.4369/1994, which directed the Commissioner to consider the time-bound promotion of Shiv Prasad Singh. The Court held that the appellant's cancellation of the promotions was in contempt of the High Court's directive, emphasizing the binding nature of judicial orders under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court ultimately set aside the contempt conviction, allowing the appellant to challenge the merits of the case in a proper forum.
