Question

Criminal Contempt of Court procedure and explanations

Answer 1

Any publication that is racist or obstructs the proper conduct of any legal proceedings will be a criminal contempt of court. A press or newspaper trial is not considered appropriate because it affects the fairness of the process and is likely to disrupt the administration of justice.

Knowledge of pending cases and reasonable reasons to believe that pending cases are sufficient to justify criminal contempt, and the intentions of the publisher and the reasons behind the content of the publication are irrelevant for the purpose Of criminal contempt. If it undermines the power of the court and interferes with the proper proceedings, this will result in criminal contempt.

In civil lawsuits, the suspension begins with the filing of an appeal, and in criminal cases - with the filing of an appeal or the issuance of a warrant or order. The connection continues until the case is resolved. In the event that an appeal / review is filed, the suspension will continue until there is an appeal or review. If no complaint / review is filed, the suspension continues until the submission deadline upon expiration, the suspension is complete.
