1. A 2024 contempt case saw the Court fine contemnors ₹5,00,000 each to a legal services authority. What does this reveal about how courts sometimes punish severe contempt?

Courts strictly follow only the Act’s ₹2,000 statutory cap in all cases

Courts sometimes invoke inherent powers under Articles 129/142, going beyond the Act’s own statutory cap

Such fines are illegal and were later struck down
