In Brief
The petitioners filed a contempt petition alleging that the respondents breached a Supreme Court judgment dated 24 August 2020 by failing to pay prescribed compensation. The respondents' senior counsel stated, while denying the breach, that to resolve the dispute, the respondents would pay all outstanding compensation at the prescribed rate within two weeks. The Court accepted this undertaking and disposed of the contempt petition, effectively securing compliance with the earlier judgment through a settlement arrangement rather than a formal contempt finding.
