Contempt of court

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 November 2011 This query is : Resolved
If the contempt petition is pending, can we ask the court to hear the contempt petition first and then the suit/any application to be heard?

whether it is a law that a contemoner cannot be heard unless the contempt is first purged?

Any Judgements?

See this is not class so you put only question expecting answer from us.
If it has any practical problem then first disclose the facts so we can reply your query.

Contempt petition proceeding shall run separately having no direct connection with pending case/suit so alleged contemnor cannot be restricted by any law not to initiate his defence in pending suit and even court cannot stay hearings pending contempt petition.
