MOHINDER KAUR vs DIAL KAUR @ GURDIAL KAUR

The Supreme Court dismissed the contempt petition against the respondents, finding no contumacious conduct. In Civil Appeal No. 2318/2014, the Court held that the appellants' argument regarding the lapse of proceedings due to the delay in issuing Section 6 Notification was unpersuasive. The Court emphasized that the appellants had filed an application under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for enhancement of compensation, thus allowing them to pursue their remedy. The appeal was dismissed without costs, but the appellants were permitted to continue with their application for reference.
