Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple contempt petitions arising from non-compliance with its earlier orders in WP (C) No. 246 of 2011. The Court reiterated that failure to comply with its directives constitutes contempt under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, and emphasized the need for strict adherence to judicial orders to uphold the rule of law. The Court held that the respondents were in contempt and imposed penalties accordingly, reinforcing the authority of the judiciary in ensuring compliance with its orders.
