First of all contempt of court does not arise in this situation.
The concerned court has to give explanation to high court if they could not comply with the instructions of the high court with convincing details.
You can have a control over your imaginary concept, judge is not the party to the case, the high court has passed an instruction but the prevailing situation may be different hence the same count not be properly followed.
If you are aggrieved then you can approach high court with a transfer petition or proper intervention

All that is possible is to get a further direction from the High Court for expeditious disposal.
