Contempt Of Court, Because Of Its Controversial Nature, Has Created Contradictory Opinions Among The Jurists As Well As Scholars. The Contempt Jurisprudence With The Common Law Origin Has Been Transmitted Into The Indian Jurisprudence By The Courts Of Record Through Several Charters. Our Constitution Has Acknowledged And Accepted This Jurisdiction By Conferring The Status Of Court Of Record To The Supreme Court And High Courts. A Country Embedded In The Concept Of Rule Of Law Should Give Due Respect To The Law And The Organ Which Applies The Law And Administers Justice. This Organ Which Possesses Neither The Muscle Power Nor The Money Power Has To Extract Due Obedience To Its Orders Only Through This Jurisdiction. But Difficulty Arises When This Jurisdiction Clashes With The Invaluable Rights Of Citizens As Well As Those Of The Press, As Enshrined In The Constitution. It Becomes All The More Difficult When It Interferes With The Functioning Of Administrative Authorities, Corporations And The Like. It Poses Different Questions. What Constitutes A Contempt Of Court? When And How This Jurisdiction Has To Be Exercised? In What Way Is The Judiciary, One Of The Organs Of The State, Justified In Controlling Other Organs Of The State And Also Rights Of Citizens In The Name Of Contempt Jurisdiction?No Indepth Study Has Been Undertaken So Far To Ascertain The Answer To The Above Questions. The Author Has Made Sincere And Humble Attempt To Cull Out Answers To The Above Questions In The Light Of Judicial Interpretations.The Concept Of Criminal Contempt, Which Includes Prejudicing Fair Trial Or Interfering With The Administration Of Justice Or Scandalising The Court, Is Analysed In Relation To The Rights Of Individuals And Those Of The Press. The Concept Of Civil Contempt, Which Includes Disobedience To The Orders Of The Court Or Breach Of An Undertaking, Is Analysed In Relation To The Administrative Authorities And Corporations, Individuals And Subordinate Judiciary.The Existing Political And Social Scenario Requires A Comprehensive Understanding Of This Branch Of Law To Eliminate Its Possible Misinterpretation. It Is Hoped That The Observations And Suggestions Made By The Author Will Be Of Immense Help And Of Use For Students, Lawyers, Law Teachers And Administrators.

This book seeks to set the Contempt of Court Act 1981 clearly in its historical context. The statute makes no claim to be a complete code. It amends existing law in some respects and otherwise leaves it untouched. This has always been the way. The law of contempt has developed piecemeal over the years, often with scant regard to general principles. "Arlidge and Eady" attempts to reduce the law governing this special jurisdiction to basic principles, consonant with the common law and with the modern statutes. Where, as so often, neither statute nor precedent provides a clear answer, the authors seek to suggest one. The 1981 Act applies (in some respects differently) to the whole of the United Kingdom. For this reason Herbert Karrigan, a practising advocate with experience of modern Scottish procedure and a direct involvement with the law of contempt, has acted as Consulting Editor. There is a separate chapter devoted to the impact of the statute on the law of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here again, in relation to Scotland an attempt has been made to set the statute in its historical context. Account is also taken of the European Convention on Human Rights and its likely effet on the development of the contempt jurisdiction.
