Thanks for valuable guidence.But concerned person is not party in the but a local Muslim leader.Then how can a contempt petition be filed against him

Then you can file a complaint against local police station that he is trying to usurp the wakf property, contempt can lie against the parties to the suit.

There are chances, the said illegal act would have been committed at the instigation of the party.

More over it is the responsibility of the party maintain the status quo.

So, file the contempt petition.
