Answer 1

As a "Court of Record" the Supreme count has the power to punish for contempt of itself.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court of India has the authority to penalise contempt of court because it is a Court of Record. This implies that it can punish people or organisations who violate the court's authority or disobey its directives. Article 129 of the Indian Constitution grants this authority to preserve the honour and authority of the judiciary.
