casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Crl.A. No. 795/1998 (Dr. Prodip K. Biswas v. Subrato Das) The Supreme Court set aside contempt convictions against Dr. Biswas, holding that the Calcutta High Court violated procedural requirements under the Contempt of Courts Act by convicting him without proper notice, hearing, or drawing up a rule nisi. The Court found that while Dr. Biswas improperly used the High Court's name in advertisements for his alternative medicine institution, the contempt proceedings were fundamentally flawed and should have followed mandatory statutory procedures. The Court accepted Dr. Biswas's undertaking not to reference the High Court in future advertisements, thereby disposing of both appeals without imposing contempt sanctions.
