Tata Mohan Rao vs S. Venkateswarlu 2025 INSC 678 - Contempt of Court
Contempt of Court - When a Constitutional Court or for that matter, any court issues any direction, every person or authority regardless of rank, is duty bound to respect and comply with that order. Disobedience of the orders passed by the court attacks the very foundation of the rule of law on which the edifice of a democracy is based.
Quotes - The majesty of law lies not in punishing, but in forgiving (Para 11)-view, it is necessary for this Court to send a clear message that no one, howsoever high they may be, they are not above the law.(Para 15)
