Option 3 : Power of court of record

The correct answer is Power of court of record.

  • As a Court of Record, the Supreme Court has two powers:
  • The judgments, proceedings, and acts of the Supreme Court are recorded for perpetual memory and testimony.
    • These records are admitted to be of evidentiary value and cannot be questioned when produced before any court.
    • They are recognized as legal precedents and legal references.
  • It has the power to punish for contempt of court, either with simple imprisonment for a term up to six months or with a fine up to `2,000 or with both.
    • In 1991, the Supreme Court has ruled that it has the power to punish for contempt not only of itself but also of high courts, subordinate courts, and tribunals functioning in the entire country.
