S.Viswanathan v. Sabitha
Case brief
What is this about?
This order dismisses the Contempt Petition for non-compliance of a prior writ order. The Court held that the claim regarding the 1993 Pay Commission was already under consideration by a Full Bench, and since the government had begun implementation, no further adjudication was needed in the contempt proceedings.
What did the court decide?
The contempt petition is closed without further adjudication as the government has started implementing the relevant order.
