1) The judgment, proceedings, and act of supreme court are recorded for permanent memory and testimony and these records can be produced before any court because they have evidentiary value and they cannot be questioned.
2)It has the power to punish for its contempt (insult) either with simple imprisonment for 6 months term or with fine.
