In Brief
The appellants challenged interim orders passed by the Delhi High Court in contempt proceedings that required their appearance. The Supreme Court had previously granted a stay on the appearance requirement. This appeal sought confirmation of that protection. The Court held that the interim relief it had granted—staying the operation of the appearance-related portions of the High Court's contempt orders—should continue until the main matter is finally disposed of by the High Court. The appeal was allowed, and the interim protection was made to continue during pendency of the main proceedings.
