In Brief
The appellant husband appealed against a High Court order that found him guilty of contempt of court for failing to comply with an Undertaking regarding maintenance obligations under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The High Court had sentenced him to six months simple imprisonment. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that since there was complete violation of the Court's Undertaking, the contempt finding and sentence were justified and warranted no interference.
