https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312852 Section 20 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 bars contempt proceedings, including issuance of notice on an application, after one year from the alleged contempt; the notice against the District Magistrate and S.D. Nayar was therefore impermissible. Where an interim injunction is wilfully disobeyed, civil contempt may still be found even if the breach occurs amid a disputed tenancy and a bona fide claim to possession; M.L. Sharma and the police officers were found liable, but the court limited the consequence to a warning. The injunction and restoration issues were remitted for fresh decision, with existing possession protected until final adjudication. en-us Fri, 26 Jul 1974 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 12:47:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312852 Section 20 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 bars contempt proceedings, including issuance of notice on an application, after one year from the alleged contempt; the notice against the District Magistrate and S.D.
