In Brief
A Municipal Corporation challenged a High Court order dismissing its contempt petition against employees who allegedly violated a court order by conducting an illegal strike. The employees had tendered an unconditional apology before the High Court. The Supreme Court held that no further enquiry was necessary given the apology and the passage of time since the 2007 strike. However, the Court emphasized that the respondents remain bound to respect and comply with all court orders in letter and spirit, and must face contempt charges if they breach such orders in future. The appeal was disposed of with no order as to costs."
