NO IT IS NOT CONTEMP OF THE COURT, PARTY CAN FILE WRITTEN ARGUMENTS. ACCEPTANCE OF IT IS DISCRITIONARY POWER.

No it is does not amounts to contempt of court. Contempt of court means violation so court orders.

To file written argument is a right of a party.It is not a contempt of court.court has discretionary power to whether reject it or admit it.

No it does not amounts to contempt of court, but acceptance of it is discretionary power of court.

It will not be a contempt of court and rather it is advisable that you must file written arguments. It helps when the matter is decided against you without considering your oral submissions and you take the decision in appeal.

According to Section 2(b) of the The Contempt of Courts Act, 1971,
"Civil contempt" means willful disobedience to any judgement, decree, direction, order, writ or other process of a court or willful breach of an undertaking given to a court"
in this case, the DIRECTION OF THE COURT NOT TO FILE WRITTEN ARGUMENTS has been flouted. Hence, it amounts to contempt.

No direction has been given by court in the present case rather the need of the written argument has not been felt but if any party is adamant to file, then it cannot be called a contempt of court as no order has been flouted.

Sir.
I think,To file written argument is statutory right, even court or judges are not above than law. They can't over ride such right provided by statute. If such direction is issued it is an arbitrary action, violation of which is no contempt.
