On an application under Order 39, Rules 1 and 2 being filed, an order was passed on 26th of July, 1994, which order is alleged to have been disobeyed.The case of disobedience seems to be that the representation, which was filed, was not decided within the prescribed time.3. When an application under Order 39, Rules 1 and 2 is decided, then the Code of Civil Procedure itself provides for the consequence of disobedience or breach of an injunction which is granted. Rule 2A was inserted in Order 39 with effect from 1st of February, 1977 with a view to giving the Court power to take action on account of the breach of the order passed by it.
