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, particularly under Section 2(b). The Court held that the respondents must be held accountable for their non-compliance, leading to the imposition of penalties and directions for compliance with the original order.
