Contempt of Courts Act, 1971
Section 2—Contempt of court—Conviction—Mere delay in complying with order, unless there is a deliberate or willful act on the part of alleged contemnors would not attract the provisions of Contempt of Courts Act—Proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act are quasi judicial in nature and therefore as the court comes to a conclusion that the act was neither deliberate or willful, it could not have convicted the appellants for Contempt of Courts Act—Impugned orders are quashed and set aside—Appeal allowed.
