Supreme Court Holds Tenants in Contempt, Imposes Fines, Imprisonment
The Supreme Court of India punished two people for not following an order to move out of a rental property.
The court had previously told them to leave by a certain date but they didn't.
One person was sentenced to jail for three months and also fined.
The other person, who is 82 years old, received a larger fine.
The court decided on these punishments because the tenants deliberately ignored the court's instructions.
The Supreme Court found two individuals guilty of contempt of court.
The case involved failure to vacate a rental property in Uttar Pradesh.
The tenants were found to have disobeyed court orders.
One tenant was sentenced to three months in prison and a fine.
The other tenant was fined ₹5 lakh.
