casestatus.in Summary
Contempt jurisdiction under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 is not attracted unless the alleged disobedience of a court order is shown to be deliberate and wilful; mere non-compliance, without proof of contumacious intent, is insufficient to sustain a contempt petition. As analysed on **casestatus.in**, the absence of such mens rea is a complete defence against a charge of civil contempt.
