If a court injunction order is disobeyed, the court can take actions like attaching the defendant's property, detaining the defendant in civil prison, or both. Additionally, the court can order the defendant to pay compensation to the affected party. These actions are outlined in Order 39 Rule 2A of the Civil Procedure Code.
Disobeying a court order, including an injunction, is considered contempt of court.
The court can order the attachment of the defendant's property, meaning it will be taken into the court's custody and potentially sold to compensate the injured party.
The court can order the defendant to be detained in civil prison for a period not exceeding six months.
The court can order the defendant to pay compensation to the party who has been harmed by the disobedience of the injunction.
If the disobedience continues, the court can extend the attachment period (up to one year) and potentially rent out the attached property, awarding compensation to the injured party,
