Ashish Seth vs Sumit Mittal

The Supreme Court addressed contempt petitions arising from non-compliance with a Memorandum of Settlement (MOS) dated 4.5.2015, which was part of the orders in Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 5/2015. The Court emphasized that both the Seth Group and Mittal Group had reciprocal obligations under the MOS, and failure to comply with these obligations could lead to contempt proceedings. The Court held that the parties must adhere to the terms of the MOS, reinforcing the enforceability of settlement agreements in judicial orders.
