Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir High Court has directed three IAS officers to comply with its orders in a service petition within two weeks or remain personally present on the next date of hearing to explain their defiance of court orders.
Khazir Mohammad Dar, a retired government officer, had filed a contempt petition against the three officials after they did not implement an order of the high court passed on March 14, 2012 directing them to fix Dar’s seniority in view of the services rendered in the Forest Department and pay all the consequential benefits as well.
“Compliance report not filed. Two weeks time granted for filing compliance report. In default, all the respondents will remain personally present and explain as to why till date judgement has not been implemented,” Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir said in his order passed on Tuesday.
