contempt of court
4 months ago
some of my colleagues filed a case in kerala high court regarding grant of increments. In the judgement court ordered that "all the employees who were getting increment will be entitled to those increments". Now, if even one employee is deprived of these increments, can he file contempt of court? although he was not the original petitioner in the case. And if yes, then can he file contempt of court in his city as well instead of the city where judgement was made?
A.Dear client,
Yes, you can proceed with the proceeding of contempt of the court but the complainant must provide any supporting documentation with the petition if he depends on any document or papers that he has.
A certified copy of the judgment, decree, order, writ, or undertaking that is allegedly violated must be included with the petition in the event of "Civil Contempt."
Thank You

A.Dear Client,
The implementation of the High Court's Order is specifically limited to the petitioners/claimants of the original suit. So, without being a petitioner of the original suit you can neither claim implementation of said order as a matter of right nor can file a petition for contempt of Court even it is similar and identical to your case. You can represent your grievance afresh claiming increment to the concerned authority citing the said order of the High Court and if your grievance deserves merit, the concerned authority may allow your claim of increment. On the rejection or refusal of your claim, if such action of the authority appears to be unjustified and discriminatory, you can approach the High Court having territorial jurisdiction over the matter citing the earlier order of the Court for an appropriate order in the matter. Reach out to Advocate for guidance and steps.
