According to R.K. Anand v. Registrar, Delhi High Court (2009), what do the rules of natural justice require before a court debars an advocate, found guilty of contempt, from appearing in courts?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The Court said that an advocate facing contempt would normally expect only the punishments in section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act. So before debarring him "he must be clearly told" that he might be debarred from appearing for a specific period. The warning may be in the initial contempt notice or given after he is held guilty, before sentence.
