Sthanuprasad v. Sreekumar
Case brief
What is this about?
This contempt case addressed an allegation that the respondent-contemnor violated a court undertaking by commencing factory production on 09/8/2012. The court examined whether operating a motor for water pumping constituted full-fledged production. Finding no evidence of actual production, the court held no prima facie case for contempt.
