In contempt of court act section 2(a) defines contempt as " wilful breach of undertaking given to court".
The question is:
1) Is an affidavit given to court considered as undertaking to court?
2) How contempt is to be filed?

if the affidavit given to the court is regarding the evidence than it is not the contempt of court it will be covered under IPc and if any order in this regard is violated than it is contempt and contempt is the application filed in the same court whose contempt there occurred.
