Disobey of court order

Recently on a survey number agricultural land a person who had permission from an ancestor to build a house on their land and stay for some years without any legal documents or money or anything. And after years stating adverse possession he started renovating or building house even tho told to stop. So a court order was issued for not listening to the owner of the land, who has legal documents in his name. The court sent direct injunction order to stop any activities on the land like construction. Even tho after receiving the order they still haven't stopped and continuously building and may finish the construction before the hearing date. So any suggestions how can I even stop them from constructing. For the notice I have taken pictures of the spot with gps map of each date like the date of petition submitted, the date of issue of order and continuously after that.

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,
