Contempt of Court

Supreme Court of India has rejected the petition filed by Amarmani Tripathi and his wife, Madhu Mani, who are serving life sentences.

Justice Salil Kumar Rai issued the order during a hearing on a contempt plea filed by Suman Devi, a retired assistant teacher. Devi alleged that despite a court directive on March 4, her salary had not been released.

The SC set strict guidelines to curb the practice of 'bulldozer justice', used by some states to demolish properties of crime suspects.
