The Supreme Court dismissed today, a contempt petition against Manipur authorities for failing to protect the properties of displaced persons during recent violence. The court stated that no contempt was made, emphasizing the need to involve encroachers as parties to the case before taking action. Encroachments on properties should be addressed through separate proceedings.
The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi government to release funds within a week for paying the salaries of staff at twelve state-funded colleges under Delhi University. Failure to comply may lead to contempt charges against senior government officials. The court emphasized the urgency and warned of consequences for non-compliance.
