Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a Contempt Petition arising from an earlier order directing the Trial Court to conclude a criminal trial within two months. The Court found that the delay in trial was due to the 1st respondent's dilatory tactics, which violated the earlier directive. The Court held that the 1st respondent was in contempt for failing to comply with the order, thereby reinforcing the importance of timely judicial proceedings under Article 21 of the Constitution.
