Contempt proceedings relate to special jurisdiction, so such power to recall or reviewed can be exercised by invoking ss. 362 and 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure—State of U.P. v. Baldev 1992 Cr LJ 1251

The right of appeal is available under sub-s. 1 of s. 19 only against any decision or order of a High Court in the exercise of its jurisdiction to punish for contempt. The High Court exercises its jurisdiction or power as conferred upon it by art. 215 of the Constitution when it imposes a punishment for contempt when the High Court does not impose any punishment on the alleged contemner, it does not exercise its jurisdiction or power to punish for contempt under art. 215 of the Constitution.—D.N. Taneja v. Bhajan Lal 1988 (3) SCC 26
