M/S RAJURESHWAR & ASSOCIATES vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition against the High Court's order rejecting a contempt petition for non-compliance with its earlier order regarding interest payment at 11% per annum. The Court held that contempt proceedings for non-compliance of its orders must be initiated in the Supreme Court itself, not in the High Court, as the latter lacks jurisdiction in such matters. The petitioner was advised to approach the Supreme Court directly for any future contempt proceedings.
