All Experts,
Hi,
Can a petition/application filed for taking action under Criminal contempt of courts be filed at the trial court and can the trial court take cognizance of the same and if evidance is found take action against the people for Criminal Contempt of Courts?
What about Civil contempt?
There is some confusion regarding which Court can take cognizance, the High Court or the can the trial Court also take cognizance.
Regards,

First tell as to what is the order of the court and what is the contempt committed. You also have to say why according to you it is criminal contempt? I am afraid, without knowing the actual facts, trying to answer your query would at best be hazarding a guess.

In a private complaint case u/s200 CrpC we asked the complainants to furnish the set of documents that they had filed in the court. They could not be obtained from the Court also as being xerox copies, certified copy could not be issued. Upon this the Court ordered to the complainants to furnish to our side the complete set. Inspite of the order after 3 months also no copies were supplied. Another application was filed for the reason that despite the orders to supply the copies the copies had not been supplied. To this the complainants replied that we have already supplied the documents but they have not given us the receiving and that we are not going to supply any document to the accused. It is a comical and false statement straight away that they have supplied the document but purposedly no receiving was given, however the statement that the complainant is not going to supply the document is extremely scandalous and demeaning and derogatory to the Court. In the limelight if this complete arguments exchanged between the parties what is your valuable opinion Sir?
Please advice..
