Quick Summary

Civil imprisonment can be a consequence of contempt of court, where a person may be detained in civil prison for up to three months if they disobey a court order or decree for an extended period. However, this punishment can be remitted if the contemnor offers a sincere apology that is accepted by the court. It's important to distinguish between imprisonment for contempt and imprisonment for failure to satisfy a decree.

The punishment awarded to the contemnor can be remitted if he/ she makes an apology which is further required to be accepted by the Court.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 06 April 2024
If the decree remained unsatisfied for 30 days or otherwise the Judgment Debtor disobeys the decree, the Court may direct the person disobeying the order to be detained in the civil prison for a term not exceeding three months.

What are the facts? What is the context?
Is it the case of imprisonment in execution of a decree or that of contempt of court?
