If there Is status quo then the opposite party cannot construct work file a contempt application under order 39 rule 2A CPC. The court can arrest him and send him to simple imprisonment or attach his property.

Firslty, when you have been fighting the case, and having the status quo order in their favour then they should be aware about the fact that the status quo means as it is at the time of order been passed.

Secondly, if still somebody doesn’t comply with the order then you can file a contempt case for non compliance of the order in the high court of the state.

Thirdly, you will definitely get some relief the moment you file the same.

If the opposite party is making constructions without caring for the status quo order then a contempt of court application may be filed before the same court against the person violating the order.
