A study on contempt of court

In India, the idea of Contempt of Court is characterised in Section 2(a) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 which has comprehensively portrayed it as common hatred or criminal scorn. There are two Articles in the Constitution which talk about the Contempt of Court and these are Article 129 and Article 142(2). This law has its source from the medieval era when the illustrious forces of the ruler were moved to the court; the ruler was then accepted to be selected by God and everybody was responsible to him.
