In Brief
K. Naveen Kumar appealed against an arrest order for contempt of court passed by the High Court. The Supreme Court granted the appellant one final opportunity to purge the contempt by depositing specified amounts (Rs. 42,08,818 and Rs. 2,00,000 to legal services authorities) and presenting before the High Court with a written apology and oral apology in open court by August 17, 2017. The arrest order was deferred for one month to permit compliance. The Court clarified it expressed no opinion on the case merits, leaving the High Court free to pass appropriate orders based on the appellant's compliance."
