Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that contempt petitions regarding non-compliance of its orders must be addressed by the Supreme Court itself, not by the High Court, as no such liberty was granted for High Court proceedings. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to not entertain the contempt petition, affirming that the petitioner incorrectly approached the High Court. The special leave petition was dismissed, but the Court clarified that the petitioner retains the right to seek appropriate legal remedies, including contempt proceedings, before the Supreme Court.
