Can contempt be filed in high court directly??
Asked 7 years ago
you can take out contempt of court proceedings directly in the HC
1. File an application for contempt of court and prosecute it, do not withdraw it even if she brings the child on the subsequent hearings. You may also challenge the order of GW court in the High Court which can quash it.
2. Contempt petition cannot be filed directly in the HC.
Yes for non compliance of court order you can file Contempt Petition.
The same can be filed in high court which would be more effective.
If she fails to obey the court order then a contempt petition may be filed against her and allow the petition to face full trial. Let she contest the contempt case in addition to other pending cases.

It is not maintainable.
You can file the contempt proceedings in the same court whose orders were disobeyed.
