History

Historical Context

The Supreme Court of India has a track record of issuing enforceable orders, notably in environmental PILs such as M.C. Mehta v. Union of India (1987) that introduced absolute liability and later the 1996 Taj Trapezium judgment. Building on that authority, the court in 2026 ordered actor Rajpal Yadav to deposit INR2 crore by 13 October, signalling continued use of asset-sale directives to compel payment.
