The Supreme Court of India was hearing two contempt petitions related to orders staying a High Court of Andhra Pradesh judgment and directing that no tenants or shop holders be excluded from participating in an auction or being granted leases for a shopping complex based on their religion. The Court disposed of the contempt petitions and clarified that the Supreme Court's order takes precedence over any High Court order. None of the tenants or shop holders are to be excluded from the auction or leases for the shopping complex based on their religion.
