ORDER : S.M. Subramaniam, J. [PRAYER: Contempt Petition filed under Section 10 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 to punish the respondents for committing gross contempt of the District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Tittakudi, Cuddalore District by deliberately, wantonly and intentionally disobeying the order of this Court made in O.S.No.11 of 2014 dated 21.04.2015.] The contempt petition has been instituted to punish the respondents for committing gross contempt of the District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Tittakudi, Cuddalore District by deliberately, wantonly and intentionally disobeying the order of this Court made in O.S.No.11 of 2014 dated 21.04.2015. 2. Contempt jurisdiction cannot be invoked for the purpose of executing Civil Court Order/Decrees. Non-implementation of Civil Court Decree/Order would not raise a cause for the purpose of institution of contempt proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. 3. Since the petitioner has not made out prima facie case for invocation of contempt of Courts Act, we are not inclined to entertain this contempt petition and consequently stands dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to workout his remedy in the manner known to law.
