In the civil cases, Parliament only has a limited right to change the pecuniary limits for appeal to the Supreme Court.
All the courts in India are courts of record and possess the power to punish for contempt against the judiciary or judges
None of the above
Correct Answer:
All the courts in India are courts of record and possess the power to punish for contempt against the judiciary or judges
Explanation:
The Constitution recognises that vast powers enjoyed by the courts, especially the Supreme Court cannot be curtailed by the Parliament. In the civil cases, Parliament only has a limited right to change the pecuniary limits for appeal to the Supreme Court. In turn, the Supreme Court has a vast appellate jurisdiction and supplementary powers to enable its efficient functioning. Both the Supreme Court and the High Courts are courts of record and possess the power to punish for contempt against the judiciary or judges
