The State Of Bihar vs Rani Sonabati Kumari on 20 September, 1960
7. It is now a well-settled principle of law that when there is a specific provision in the Code in respect of any mailer, it is not permissible for the Court to pass any order in respect of such matter under Section 151 of the Code. Much reliance has been placed on behalf of the petitioner upon a decision of the Supreme Court in State of Bihar v. Rani Sonabati Kumari, . In that case, it has been held by the Supreme Court that though undoubtedly proceedings under Order 39, Rule 2(3) of the Civil P.C. (which is somewhat similar to the amended provision of Order 39, Rule 2A) have a punitive aspect, as is evident from the contemner being liable to be ordered to be detained in civil prison, they are in substance designed to effect the enforcement of or to execute the order.
