I will try to answer from my self-reading...........

 

Section - 8. Other defences not affected

 

Section 2: defines what is contempt

Section 3 to 7 and some other section clarify what can't called as a contempt (Ofcourse!!!......It does not mean that one is given full liberty to do so just because that fits into those sections)

Apart from above, if there is any other defenses, it is allowable after perusal of the excuse/defense given.(Liberal/broadminded and benevolent clause in the act)

 

Section 9. Act not to imply enlargement of scope of contempt

 

Breach of Court Order e.g. Injuction/stay on demolition of a building..........Court may pardon the culprit for breach of Order but it does not mean that culprit is pardoned from offences/damages arising out of the demolition of building.
