If an order has been passed in your favour and the other party is not obeying it then you should file a contempt application in the court making the party not following the court orders a party.

If an AO is not following the orders of the supreme court then file an appeal against the order. The AO must have given some reasons for not following the orders ie not applicable to your case etc.


If the supreme court has ordered a status quo in your case tgen the AO is bound to act in accordance with that order. If he is acting otherwise then file a contempt application against him.

Dear Client,

Contempt proceedings can be initiated either by filing an application or by the court itself suo moto. Contempt proceedings must be initiated within one year from the date on which contempt is alleged to have been committed.

Thankyou

You can file a contempt petition in SC. SC has powers to punish it's own contempt

File an appeal against impugned order imposing penalty 

 

2) issue legal notice to AO that order imposing penalty is in violation of SC orders directing maintenance of status quo and amounts to contempt of court proceedings 

 

3) take out contempt of court proceedings against AO

The Supreme Court has observed that when the directions issued in a judgment are general in nature, any aggrieved party (not just the party to the judgment), can file a Contempt petition when there is violation of such directions.

Contempt proceedings can be initiated either by filing an application or by the court itself suo moto. In both the cases, contempt proceedings must be initiated within one year from the date on which contempt is alleged to have been committed.

If you have obtained an enforceable court order and there is a clear breach of the court order, the breaching party may be committing a criminal offence (sometimes known as being in “contempt of court”). This may lead to police action, prosecution, fines, or imprisonment.

This is an order  against you which has aggrieved you.

Hence you may have to exhaust the remedies before the appellant authority first after which you can decide further course of action

 If contempt has been committed of an order in which you were either a party or whereunder certain rights were created in your favour then you are at liberty to file contempt petition before the court.
