Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple contempt petitions arising from WP (C) No. 246 of 2011, emphasizing the importance of compliance with its earlier orders. The Court reiterated that failure to adhere to its directives constitutes contempt under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, specifically under Section 2(b). The Court held that the respondents must comply with the orders issued in the writ petition, and failure to do so would attract appropriate penalties for contempt.
