In Brief
The State of Tamil Nadu filed a contempt petition against the Chief Minister of Karnataka and others, arising out of Civil Appeal No. 2456 of 2007. After the Supreme Court disposed of the underlying civil appeal, it declined to proceed further with the contempt petition. The Court held that given the final disposal of the civil appeal, there was no need to continue with the contempt proceeding, and accordingly closed the petition.
