Chair.West Ben.Admin.Tribunl.& Anr vs Sk.Monobbor Hossain & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against remarks made by the High Court regarding the State Administrative Tribunal's non-compliance with its directions. The Court emphasized that contempt powers should not be exercised lightly and reiterated principles from R.N. Dey v. Bhagyabati Pramanik and Suresh Chandra Poddar v. Dhani Ram, cautioning against oversensitivity in contempt matters. The Court held that the High Court should have dropped the contempt proceedings after accepting the unconditional apology and not imposed costs, thereby expunging the remarks made against the Tribunal members.
