Hi Nikhita

You can file for contempt of court for not following the court orders/directions. You can refer the court's view in Vineet Kumar Mathur vs Union Of India 1996 SCC (1) 119.

You will get various other cases where court took the stringent view for not complying to its directions.

For any other clarification, write to me at mittaljets@gmail.com
