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 adhere to its directives constitutes contempt under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, and outlined the penalties for non-compliance. The Court held that the respondents must take immediate corrective actions to comply with the orders, failing which they would face further legal consequences.
