Jagdish Chander Malik vs Manmohan Juneja

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

The appellant sought a contempt petition in the Supreme Court against the High Court's order dismissing his earlier contempt petition alleging non-implementation of a court order. The original order had granted the appellant liberty to approach the Registrar of Companies (ROC) to obtain certified copies of documents, but he failed to do so despite multiple opportunities.

The appeal was disposed of by granting the appellant fresh liberty to approach the ROC within two months for compliance.", <parameter name="cited_cases">[]
