https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198056 Section 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 permits an appeal only from an order passed in the exercise of jurisdiction to punish for contempt; an order in contempt proceedings that decides the underlying dispute on merits but imposes no contempt punishment is therefore not appealable under that provision. Such an order may still be challengeable as an intra-court appeal under clause 15 of the Letters Patent if it finally determines substantive rights and has the trappings of finality. Directions in contempt proceedings granting reinstatement, arrears, substitution of the enquiry officer and deemed revocation of suspension were held to exceed contempt jurisdiction because they adjudicated fresh rights beyond the alleged disobedience, and were set aside. en-us Thu, 25 May 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 14:19:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198056 Section 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 permits an appeal only from an order passed in the exercise of jurisdiction to punish for contempt; an order in contempt proceedings that decides the underlying dispute on merits but imposes no contempt punishment is therefore not appealable under that provision.
