Chaduranga Kantharaj Urs vs. S.V. Ranganath and Ors. (CONTEMPT PETITION (CIVIL) Supreme Court of India
The Supreme Court took a firm stand against government officials who had wilfully disobeyed its orders for over a decade in a land acquisition case. The officials were supposed to issue compensation in the form of Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) but kept delaying. After finding them guilty of contempt, the Court rejected their further attempts to stall the process. It ordered the immediate release of the TDRs to the rightful owners, ensuring that the court's authority is respected and its orders are implemented without delay.
