NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday, 3rd March, refused to entertain a petition seeking contempt action against Gujarat authorities for allegedly disobeying its orders regarding demolition of properties. The petitioner alleged that authorities in Ahmedabad demolished houses without following the Supreme Court’s directions.
The Delhi High Court imposed a Rs 1 lakh fine on an individual for involving Lord Hanuman in a temple dispute over private property. The court condemned the misuse of legal processes and dismissed the appeal, emphasizing that the temple did not qualify as a public temple. The fine is to be solely payable by the litigant.
