Underling “no progress” in compliance, the top court said it might frame contempt charges against the authorities concerned.

“We are only saying, comply with the direction of the apex court of the country. Otherwise, we know how to get the things complied. If not complied with, the consequence under the contempt petition will follow. We will frame charges and consequences will follow under the Contempt of Courts Act,” a bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan said.
