N.Nagarajan v. S.Siva Shanmugaraja
Case brief
What is this about?
In this contempt petition, the petitioner sought punishment for the respondent's alleged wilful disobedience of a prior court order directing him to consider a service extension representation. The court examined the facts and held that since the respondent had passed an order on 22.10.2019 complying with the earlier direction, the cheating of disobedience was negated.
