Delay in filing contempt

Hello Sir / Madam, My mother is one of trustee of education trust. 1. Madras High Court has ordered on 2001 - Appointed a receiver to manage the educational institutions, no trustees should interfere in the management, administration, appointment of the educational institutions. 2. But from the record / monthly account statement 2017 it has stated that 5 trustees have received money from the educational institution & signed in the vouchers. While my mother sent lawyer notice to those trustees stating that their act is against high court order. There was no reply & my mother filed contempt petition. Registrar Reply: 1. Since the court order was on 2001, the contempt cannot be filed ( Order was for appointment of receiver & trustees should not interfere in the management of the educational institutions until further orders from court) My Query: Since the high Court order was 2001, but the trustees act is only during 2017. Is there any COURT ORDER for the above issue. Is there any other way to file / numbering of Contempt against those trustees. Reply & copy of order for the above issue is very much appreciated. Regards, Nandhinee
