In Brief
The Court dismissed contempt petitions filed by parties who were signatories to a Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) regarding license renewal. The petitioners alleged that respondents breached obligations under the consent order. The Court found no substance in the contempt petitions and deferred passing further contempt orders, instead granting the respondents two months from the lifting of lockdown to fulfill their obligations. Non-compliance within this timeframe would trigger contempt proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act.
