PRODIP K. BISWAS vs SUBRATA DAS — Crl.A. No. 603/1998

The Supreme Court set aside the Calcutta High Court's criminal contempt conviction against Dr. Prodip Kumar Biswas and remanded the case, finding that the High Court violated procedural requirements under the Contempt of Courts Act by failing to issue proper notice, conduct a rule nisi hearing, or afford the appellant reasonable opportunity to defend himself before finding him guilty and imposing a fine. The Court accepted the appellant's undertaking filed in 2004 not to reference the High Court in any future institutional advertisements, thereby disposing of the contempt proceedings without continuing sanctions.
