According to Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, a contempt of court may be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to two thousand rupees, or with both.
Contempt means failure to follow a court order. If the court finds someone in contempt, the court will usually give that person a new chance to start following the order. If the person does not start following the order, the court can make the person pay a fine or even go to jail.
If appropriate, the court may invoke the criminal contempt provisions of 18 U.S.C. 401 or Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Under the former, the court may impose a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than six months, but not both.
The best strategy to avoid contempt is to comply with all court orders. If you disagree with a ruling, the appropriate legal step is to file an appeal. Its also crucial to address any underlying issues that might lead to contempt charges, such as financial difficulties affecting child support payments.
A judge may impose sanctions such as a fine, jail or social service for someone found guilty of contempt of court, which makes contempt of court a process crime. Judges in common law systems usually have more extensive power to declare someone in contempt than judges in civil law systems.
