A mere notice or order initiating contempt proceedings under Section 17 does not determine any rights or conclusively decide any contention of the alleged contemner, and therefore does not attract an appeal as of right. Interlocutory steps in contempt proceedings are not independently appealable; only a final order, or an earlier order that conclusively resolves a dispute raised by the alleged contemner, is appealable.
