STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs ERGAN PLASTIC INDUSTRIES — C.A. No. 9883/1995

Case Summary: State of Rajasthan v. Ergan Plastic Industries (C.A. No. 9883/1995) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on January 21, 2003, setting aside the High Court's contempt order and dismissing Contempt Petition No. 106 of 1984. The Court found that Ergan Plastic Industries was not entitled to payment from Rajasthan State because there was no evidence the respondent had paid any increased duty on polythene bags during the contract period (October 23, 1978 – August 31, 1979). The original orders contemplated reimbursement only if duty was actually increased and paid by the respondent, which did not occur.
