" Issuing process of a criminal offence has serious repercussions for the accused, and that is the reason the Legislature deemed it appropriate to provide prior hearing to the person sought to be summoned. The right of hearing is one of the most cherished rights in the criminal jurisprudence, and is embedded in the Principles of Natural Justice permeating to the Constitutional scheme of things, especially Articles 14 and 21 guaranteeing the right to fair trial. Therefore, there is no reason why the benefit of hearing should not be afforded to the accused after coming into force of the BNSS, even if complaint against him has been technically filed before coming into force of the BNSS on 01.07.2024."

Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri cited

Sonu v. State (2019),

where it was held that a knife was a deadly weapon irrespective of its dimensions and it was not correct to categorize the knife as a certain type or size before considering it as a deadly weapon.

Can contempt petition be filed and used as execution for decree, if defendent not complying.

The weapon of contempt will not be used for execution of the decree
or implementation of an order for which alternative remedy in law is provided
for.

Wilful disobedience

In civil contempt means 🤔

The civil contempt would mean a wilful disobedience of a decision of this Court. What would be relevant is the “wilful disobedience”. Hence, knowledge of having acted in disregard to an order is sine qua non for being proceeded with if there is a deliberate, conscience and intentional act then the jurisdiction can be clutched."

Decree execution
#CPC@CurrentLegalGK

17. Apex Court has considered the issue as to

whether parallel proceedings viz execution proceedings and contempt proceedings are maintainable?

is concerned, we have no hesitation to hold that both the execution proceedings and the contempt petition are maintainable, as the former one is for recovery of amount and the latter is to punish the wilful disobedience of the order of the Court, provided it is established that execution proceedings and contempt proceedings are independent to each
other.

The Apex Court has categorically held that without first taking recourse to execution proceedings, contempt cannot be entertained.

Only after initiation of E.P. (not after conclusion of the execution proceedings), contempt can be filed and it is for the Court to decide whether it is wilful and deliberate disobedience, depending on the facts of each case.
