S. K. Containers Pvt. Ltd. And Anr vs Susmita Bhattacharya & Ors

The Supreme Court dismissed the contempt petition against the respondents, finding no contumacious conduct. The Court addressed the appellants' argument regarding the lapse of proceedings due to the delay in issuing the Section 6 Notification under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, stating that the interim order was valid and the acquisition was for educational purposes. The Court emphasized that the appellants had filed an application under Section 18 of the Act for enhancement of compensation, which they must pursue, leading to the dismissal of the appeal without prejudice to their rights under Section 18.
