By way of instant petition, the petitioner has sought to initiate proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 against the respondent for disobeying the judgment and decree for permanent injunction dated 23.5.1994 passed by the Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Phillaur as affirmed by judgment and decree dated 2.12.1998 passed by the Additional District Judge, Jalandhar. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner has remedy available to him for execution of decree dated 23.5.1994 as affirmed on 2.12.1998 under Order XXI Rule 32 of the Code of Civil Procedure (in short “the Code”). Order XXI Rule 32, sub-rule (1) of the Code reads as under:- “32. Decree for specific performance or restitution of conjugal rights, or for an injunction.- (1) Where the party against whom a COCP No. 2531 of 2011 -2- decree for the specific performance of a contract, or for restitution of conjugal rights, or for an injunction has been passed, has had an opportunity of obeying the decree and has wilfully failed to obey it, the decree may be enforced (in the case of a decree for restitution of conjugal rights by the attachment of his property or, in the case of a decree for the specific performance of a contract or for an injunction) by his detention in the civil prison, or by the attachment of his property, or by both.” 3. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of by relegating the petitioner to avail remedy of execution available to him under Order XXI Rule 32 of the Code in accordance with law.
