 "summary": "The Supreme Court partly allowed IPS officer 's Article 32 challenge to his 17 January 1996 conviction for fabricating records in the Afzal habeas corpus matter, while expressly upholding his contempt conviction. The Court held the Section 193 IPC conviction, imposed via show-cause notice, was without jurisdiction because the mandatory Sections 195/340 CrPC complaint procedure had been bypassed and Article 142 could not supplant it. It therefore recalled the Section 193 conviction but directed no fresh complaint since the sentence had already been undergone. The Court expressly upheld the Article 129 contempt conviction and six-month sentence, recording the petitioner's undertaking to claim no compensation. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",

 "court_quote": "To perpetuate an error is no virtue but to correct it is a compulsion of judicial conscience. We, therefore, unhesitatingly set aside the conviction of the petitioner for the offence under Section 193 IPC. We also do not at this stage, consider it expedient to direct the filing of a complaint in the competent court as envisaged by Section 340 Cr.P.C. because the petitioner has already undergone the sentence imposed upon him for an offence under Section 193 IPC although set aside now by this order and we are upholding his conviction and sentence imposed under Article 129 of the Constitution of India for committing contempt of court.",
