Supreme Court: Law Passed by Parliament After Court Ruling Not Contempt Unless Declared Unconstitutional

The Supreme Court ruled that laws passed by Parliament or state legislatures after a court judgment do not constitute contempt unless declared unconstitutional by a Constitutional Court.  

This decision came while addressing a 2012 contempt plea against the Chhattisgarh government for passing the Chhattisgarh Auxiliary Armed Police Force Act, 2011, following the Court's 2011 order disbanding Salwa Judum.  

The Court clarified that legislative bodies have the authority to enact or amend laws, and such actions are not contemptuous unless they directly violate constitutional provisions or court judgments.  

This upholds the doctrine of separation of powers within India's constitutional framework.
