Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the conviction and penalty imposed under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, amounting to Rs. 1,00,000/- on the appellant. The Court noted the appellant's unconditional and unqualified apology, determining that this gesture served the interest of justice. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the earlier order of the High Court was overturned.
