This contempt appeal arises out of the order passed by the learned Single Judge on 06.11.2024, wherein a prima facie case of disobedience was made out and direction was issued to the respondents in the writ petition to face contempt proceedings. 2. In our view, the observations made by the Contempt Court are prima facie in nature, and are intended to form the basis for framing of the charge. It is well settled that against such an order, no contempt appeal under Section 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 is maintainable. 3. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed and is consigned to the record room as being not maintainable.
