In a matter of encroachment on reserved play ground, between encroacher and mcgm, court had passed orders to maintain status quo until next hearing. however the encroacher is not following the order and had continued the work, mcgm doesn't act, so is there a way wherein common citizen, who is not a party to the case, can notify court of the same? Pls guide.

It is only the parties who can institute contempt of court, however, authorities may be notified along with copy of the orders passed by Hon'ble Court to maintain status quo.
