Section 20 of IPC : Section 20: ''Court Of Justice''

Explanation using Example

Section 20 of The Indian Penal Code defines "Court of Justice". It refers to an individual judge or a group of judges who are authorized by law to make decisions in a judicial capacity, either individually or collectively as a part of a judicial body.

Example Application: If a person is accused of committing contempt of court by disrupting the proceedings, the application of Section 20 would help to establish whether the court in question qualifies as a "Court of Justice" under the IPC. If it does, the individual could be prosecuted for contempt of that court.
