Yes…both the civil and criminal contempts can be filed simultaneously before the High Court of your jurisdiction. As the nature of both the civil and criminal cases will be different from each other then you have the liberty to file the same. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

1. No, not on the same facts and grounds. It may be either civil contempt or may be criminal contempt. 2. In the same proceeding and court where contempt was committed. However, it is only high court who has authority to try contempt.

You need to hire a tutor for such types of academic questions, this platform is not for academic sessions. If there is and are real situations then only post your queries ! Moreover, you need to hire expert advocate to file such cases, where to file where not to file is his job ! All the best
