Contempt of court belongs to a different order of thing than an unanswered summons. Contempt arises when a court's own order is disobeyed — when a judge has commanded something and it is refused. Papers served by a party are a request for the court to act, not yet a command; silence in that window is not defiance, and no judge has been slighted. In Jyotish, the 6th house governs disputes and the 7th the opponent; when the 7th is passive and the 6th unagitated, matters often proceed by default rather than by confrontation. So if the two weeks pass without reply, the court's own rules usually carry the case forward — quietly, without any finding against his character. The strength lies in your friend's patience, not in the other man's failure.
