'Malaise In System': Calcutta HC Raps Gov Authorities For Not Complying With Orders For Years Despite Not Filing Appeal, Imposes Rs 25K Costs

Live Law  

The Calcutta High Court on Monday imposed costs to the tune of Rs 25,000 on an alleged contemnor for not taking steps for compliance of an earlier order for a period of 7 years despite a contempt application being filed back in 2015. Justice Shekhar B. Saraf also came down heavily on the practice of government authorities of not complying with orders of the Court for years on end and thereafter informing the Court that an appeal is to be filed whenever the Court presses for compliance of the order. In the instant case, government pleader Anirban Ray appearing on behalf of the alleged contemnor submitted before the Court that an appeal has been filed against the order dated January 2, 2015. Accordingly, the Court expressed its displeasure at the conduct of the alleged contemnor for not taking any steps for a period of seven years in spite of the contempt application having been filed in 2015.
