Contempt of national consumer forum order

 

Friends

The National Consumer Forum (NCDRC) had passed an order against a real estate company under which it was supposed to pay me by Aug 15, 2014. Despite follow up, the company hasn’t paid me and it is a clear case of contempt of court. Please advise:

What action should I take?

Should I continue to follow up with the company for a few more days?

Or should I file a contempt petition with the court?

If I file a contempt petition with the court, what benefit I can get (other than just getting my money back). I mean will I get some extra compensation?

How much time it would take to get the relief through the court?

Regards

Puneet Gupta

Narrate all representations made so far in writing under proper acknowledgment.

File for execution.

The NCDRC can impose penalty.

Civil contempt of court refers to behavior which disobeys the authority of a court in a civil proceeding. Civil contempt is distinct from criminal contempt of court. Most often, civil contempt of court involves failure to satisfy a court order. Generally, sanction for civil contempt end when the party in contempt complies with the court order, or the underlying case resolves. Civil contempt can result in punishment including jail time and/or a fine.
