SUKHDEV SINGH SODHI vs THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND JUDGESOF THE PEPSU HIGH COURT.

The Supreme Court ruled that it lacks the authority under Section 527 of the Criminal Procedure Code to transfer contempt proceedings initiated by a High Court to another High Court. The Court clarified that Section 527 does not apply to such cases as the power of a High Court to address its own contempt is an inherent jurisdiction. The Court emphasized the importance of justice principles, suggesting that a judge personally attacked should not preside over related contempt matters.
