India, Nov. 17 -- The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday dismissed a contempt petition filed by the Sus Road Baner Vikas Manch against Pune municipal commissioner Naval Kishore Ram and two others over alleged non-compliance of its September 12, 2024 order that had allowed the Baner garbage processing plant to operate under strict conditions to curb odour and pollution.

Appearing for the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), advocate Rahul Garg said the civic chief had filed a detailed counter-affidavit, providing a point-by-point rebuttal to the allegations raised in the contempt plea. He argued that the petition was a misuse of the court's process and an attempt to re-litigate issues already settled by the apex court in its 2024 judgment.
