Answer 2

"The general practice is that a person in contempt is usually relieved from the consequences of that contempt when he purges himself of the contempt by doing that which he neglected or wilfully refused to do. Whether or not that general practice is made applicable in a particular case lies with the discretion of the judge disposing of the application."
