    What are the costs involved in exercising rights under this law?

    By Nyaaya | Contempt of Court, Police and Courts | 0 comment | 19 February, 2021 | 0

    For filing a petition for contempt, a certain amount of court fees have to be paid along with it. For contempt proceedings, the court fees are determined by the rules of the respective High Court or the Supreme Court. However, in the Supreme Court, the court fees do not have to be paid for the petition or any additional documents filed in the proceedings1. Take the help of a lawyer to understand the respective court fees charged by the High Court of the state.
