Contempt of Court | Continued Non-Compliance After SLP Dismissal Constitutes Wilful Disobedience: Bombay HC

Bombay HC rules that persistent failure to comply with court orders, even after dismissal of a Special Leave Petition by the Supreme Court, amounts to contempt under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The judgment underscores that finality of judicial orders leaves no legal justification for further delay, imposing strict accountability on public authorities.
