2019 (2) TMI 1854 - SC - Indian LawsContempt jurisdiction - whether the learned Single Judge was right in travelling beyond the four corners of the order in W.P. No. 3874 of 2016 dated 03.02.2016 and directing the Appellant-Board to pay the compensation at the rate of ₹ 600/- per sq. ft.? - HELD THAT:- The Single Judge fell in error in entertaining the contempt petition and further erred in directing the TWAD Board to pay compensation at the rate of ₹ 600/- per sq. ft. which works out to more than ₹ 4,00,00,000/-. It is public money and having implications on the public exchequer, the public money cannot be allowed to be taken away by an individual by fling contempt petition thereby arm-twisting the authorities. The order passed by the learned Single Judge affirmed by the Division Bench is ex-facie erroneous and liable to be set aside. Appeal allowed.
