Answers
Explanation:
The Supreme Court shall be a court of record and shall have all the powers of such a court including the power to punish for contempt of itself. The first Draft Constitution of India prepared by the Constitutional Adviser under Article 108, following Section 203 of the Government of India Act, 1935, provided in its Clause 91 that the Supreme Court shall be a court of record. (a) What is a court of record? Dr. Ambedkar said that it is important to define the status of the Supreme Court. He said that: ... a court of record is a court the records of which are admitted to be of evidentiary value and they are not to be questioned when they are produced before any court. ... Then, the second part of Article 108 says that the court shall have the power to punish for contempt of itself. As a matter of fact, once you make a court a court of record by statute, the power to punish for contempt necessarily follows from that position.1
A court of record is defined as: 1. A court whereof the acts and judicial proceedings are enrolled for a perpetual memorial and testimony, and which has power to fine and imprison for contempt of its authority.
