| HC expresses displeasure over non-implementation of its directions | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 9 : Justice Sanjeev Kumar in a contempt petition after hearing Adv SK Anand, expressed displeasure over non-implementation of judgment for more than a decade ago and said that It was a clear case of gross contempt of this Court.
Justice Sanjeev Kumar sought the names and addresses of all those persons who have remained as Commissioner Secretary, Revenue and Commissioner Secretary, GAD right from the year, 2004 till date.
While passing direction, Justice Sanjeev Kumar observed that this Court perused the compliance reports filed on behalf of the Commissioner Secretary, Revenue and Commissioner Secretary, GAD, which reflect that the judgment passed by this Court on 11.07.2002 and upheld by the Division Bench on 08.10.2003 has not been complied with in letter and spirit. The judgment has remained unimplemented even after the lapse of 16 years.
The compliance report filed by the GAD reflects that a different yardstick was adopted while implementing the judgment passed in favour of the petitioners which clearly exhibits contumacious conduct of the respondents. The petitioners have been made to wait to reap the fruits of the judgment passed in their favour by the Single Bench as well as the Division Bench of this Court more than a decade ago which speaks volume about the manner in which the respondents are treating the orders passed by this Court. This is not the isolated case but a trend has been noticed that the respondents have no respect for the orders of this Court. Time has come to act tough lest the Rule of Law shall fail resulting into anarchy. Constitutional democracy, as we are, cannot afford such state of affairs, Court observed. |
