Chief Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar today came down heavily on CE PDD for not implementing the court orders in tune with the court directions and sought his personal appearance on next date of hearing.
Court was hearing third round of litigation filed by the petitioner Mohammad Akbar Mir against the Power Development Department for not implementing the basic judgment of 2006 its right perspective.
“In such circumstances, the present CE PDD M&RE wing Kashmir is directed to appear in person on 20.10.16 before this court along with the compliance order”, CJ directed.
Court also made it clear that if the compliance order of basic judgment is not passed by next date then the court may impose 9 percent interest to the amount payable to the petitioner.
Court also warned CE PDD that if the compliance order is not passed then he will not be permitted to draw his salary till the order of this court is complied with.
Petitioner’s basic petition was allowed in the year 2006 with the direction to the respondent department to release the grade of Installation Inspector in favour of the petitioner-Mir from the date the job was assigned to him with a period of three months.
CE while complying the judgment of the court has partially implemented the court judgment which compelled the petitioner to approach this court again and the court directed for implementation of judgment in its entirety within eight weeks time.
