§ 34-47-1-1 — Applicability of article

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), (c),
and IC 34-47-3-8, IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 apply to all proceedings
for contempt in all courts of record in Indiana except the supreme
court.
(b) Nothing in IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 shall be construed or held
to embrace, limit, or control any proceeding against any officer or party
for contempt for the enforcement of civil rights and remedies.
(c) IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 do not apply to any case where any
person has been personally served with notice to appear and testify as
a witness in any court in Indiana in any civil or criminal case. A court
may proceed against a person who fails to appear as a witness for
contempt of court:
(1) by attachment; and
(2) as though IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 were not in force.
The proceeding against an absent witness by attachment shall not cause
a continuance of the case in which the witness was subpoenaed to
testify.
