Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 alongwith Rules to Regulate Proceedings for Contempt of the Supreme Court, 1975

This practical edition compiles the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 and the Rules to Regulate Proceedings for Contempt of the Supreme Court, 1975 into a single, carefully edited volume for quick statutory reference and courtroom use. The Act’s provisions — defining civil and criminal contempt, defences, jurisdiction, punishment and procedural safeguards — are presented verbatim and accompanied by concise marginal notes that highlight key statutory thresholds, limitation issues and interactions with evidence and procedure law. The included 1975 Rules set out practice directions for initiating and conducting contempt proceedings before the Supreme Court; these are printed alongside the Act for easy cross-reference. Features such as a clear table of contents, subject index, and sample procedural timelines make this edition especially useful for advocates drafting citations, judicial officers conducting hearings, and law students preparing for exams. Durable layout and readable typography ensure the volume performs well as a courtroom desk copy, academic text, or library reference. Updated where relevant and typeset for legibility, this edition converts the statute and rules into a usable resource for navigating contempt law in India.
