Dear Sir,
Honorable High court given a verdict to promote me for associate professor. I have submitted the verdict to my employer 15 days before. I came to know that employer is not going to implement the court's verdict.
In that case, what is the minimum time frame after which i can go for contempt of court? What are the basic criteria for contempt of court.
Thanking you

It is not clear as to what type of action you have started in High Court and which Bench has given the direction.
Assuming that you have filed Writ Petition in the High Court, it is possible that Single Bench has given direction against which your Institute may go in for Letters Patent Appeal. Appeal period is 30 days from the date of judgment.
You have to wait for this period.

An appeal can be filed within 30 days of judgement. Wait till the period of appeal is over and then file contempt petition.

In continuation of earlier queries, my employer could not file the Writ appeal within 30 days time. Now institute has file a a misc. case seeking condonation of delay in filing the instant writ appeal. I have receive a notice for that.
Is there any chance to argue against the filed case? Many people have suggested me not to argue in this matter because they will be permitted for delay.
pleas suggest.

There are no hard and fast rule as to condonation of delay though the principle is that the appellant has to provide credible explanation for each day to be condoned. Generally, delay is condoned if substantial question of law is involved.
Any how, you can submit to objection to the condonation sought.
