"Its orders were not followed unless drastic measures were taken," a two-judge bench of the apex court, led by Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, asked the Principal Secretary to explain why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him and asked him to appear before it through video-conferencing on March 28.
