N.Meenaktchi v. Nanthagopal
Case brief
What is this about?
This contempt petition challenging non-compliance with a writ order regarding Tamil medium reservation was closed. The Division Bench previously held that a certificate from the college head is mandatory for PSTM status, as mere examination language does not suffice. With this position clarified, the court found no disobedience.
What did the court decide?
The Contempt Petition is closed as no contempt proceedings can be initiated.
