two categories, namely, that initiated suo motu by the Court and that instituted otherwise
action for contempt is divisible into two categories, namely, that initiated suo motu by the Court and that instituted otherwise than on the court’s own motion. The mode of initiation in each case would necessarily be different. While in the case of suo motu proceedings, it is the Court itself which must initiate by issuing a notice, in the other cases initiation can only be by a party filing an application. [Pallav Sheth v. Custodian and Others (2001) 7 SCC 549].
