Whether there is contempt of its order or not is the concern of the Court, and not of the Applicant who files the Contempt Petition. The job of the Applicant gets over once he has brought it to the notice of the Court that its orders have not been complied with and consequently there is contempt. If, the court itself feels that there is no contempt, the Applicant cannot do anything. The question of preferring appeal simply does not arise.

Court need not give any ground. If it is satisfied, that there is no contempt, it may not proceed with the contempt case. Whether a particular court is affected by contempt or not is to be decided by the same court, and not by any other court. Therefore, the question of approaching higher Court (District Court) simply does not arise. THE APPLICANT IS NOBODY TO SAY THAT IT IS AN ERRONEOUS JUDGMENT (especially it is for the court to decide whether there is any contempt or not - because it is between the court and the alleged contemnor and Applicant has no further say than to bring the matter before the Court).
