Constitution — Art. 215 — Contempt of Courts Act — S 10 — Contempt of Supreme Court — Suo motu proceedings initiated by the High Court — No part of the alleged contemptuous publications was referred to the High Court of Delhi or any other High Court — The publications did not refer to any Judge or any order of any Court subordinate to the High Court of Delhi— Held, the Supreme Court was and is competent to punish for contempt of itself— the order passed by the High Court appears to us to be without jurisdiction, hence, liable to be set aside. (Para 7 & 11) |
