There is no time limit though the same should be made within the reasonable point of time.

Thank you.
It is about 1.5 months since we have come to know about Contempt of HC Orders. We have drafted the contempt petition and plan to submit it early next month. Is it OK or should I take off to travel to HC to file it earlier?

Also, please inform how such petitions are processed in the court - actively/passively? The respondents also include police officials (SHO and IO) and others.

Dear All,
May I ask isn't contempt different from defamation?
