Answer: Article 129 of the constitution of India states that the Supreme Court is the court of record. The definition of a court of record is such that the acts and certain proceedings of a court are enrolled for testimony and memory. The recorded and retained proceedings are used with the permission of higher authority, and the truth of these proceedings is not even questionable. These records have a higher importance value and are not questionable under any grounds when produced before any other court.
Act 129 of the Indian constitution has empowered the supreme court to be the court of record. Also provides the supreme court with the power of punishment for contempt of its authority.
