1. Since the settlement was reached in the court both the parties are obligated to act in accordance thereof.
2. Contempt proceedings can be initiated if either party has not carried out the terms of settlement.
Hi, don't go for filling contempt petition based on the compromise petition if the one of the parties failed to act as per the terms of the compromise you have to file a execution petition in the court.
It is advisable that the a legal notice is issued to the father attaching the Order passed by the court for due compliance and if the father is not complying with the order, a case of contempt be filed against him. Since only part performance is done, contempt will be admitted only for the part of the order which is yet to be complied.
normally how long court takes to decide such type of contempt cases ? can appeal be filled against decision in higher court? Pls let me know

1)you have to make application to court for placing case on board for admission .
2) it should take a year for petition to be admitted .
3) your father will comply with order if he wants to avoid being hauled up for contempt
4) appeal can be filed but chances of success are bleak
1. Contempt matters can be decided in a single hearing.
2. The decision of a lower court can always be challenged in a higher court.
1. The property was mortgaged with a Bank while taking loan,
2. The mortgaged property can be released by the Bank only when the outstanding is cleared,
3. Was it mentioned in the Court Order as to who will settle the outstanding to get the mortgaged deed released?
4. If the father was to settle the outstanding and get the mortgage released then he has failed in doing so,
5. File an execution petition first with a prayer to arrest him in case of his failure to execute it.
1. Comtempt petition will take time time,
2. You shall have to file execution petition after getting the decree/order.
son can file suit for execution of decree. court has power under order 21 of c.p.c. to execute the decree either by forfeiture or arrest of judgment debtor( father). contempt of court will not be the appropriate measure for execution of decree. it takes very less time to execute.
