Judical officer should power of contempt with circumspection and care
our judicial officers should not resort to action under the Contempt of Courts Act too frequently and, in any case, too lightly. If, at all, any action is warranted then the judicial officers should better ensure that it is properly taken, due enquiry is made and the required procedure is followed so that the action can be maintained. Otherwise it unnecessarily causes loss of valuable time of the Courts. Besides, such haphazardous and improper action may cause damage to the dignity of the Courts instead of maintaining it.
