Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple contempt petitions arising from WP (C) No. 246 of 2011, emphasizing the need for compliance with its earlier orders. The Court reiterated that failure to comply with its directives constitutes contempt under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, and outlined the consequences for such non-compliance. The Court held that the respondents must adhere to the orders issued, failing which appropriate action would be taken against them.
