The ruling of December 18, 2009, has not been followed up on, according to Justice Vinod Chatterji Koul’s order, which indicates that the respondents are willfully delaying its execution and have so committed contempt of court.
The respondents No. 1 and 2, namely Sh. Ashok Kumar Sharma (JKAS), Director, School Education Department, Jammu, and Sh. Alok Kumar (IRS), Principal Secretary to Government, School Education Department, J&K, shall thus continue to be present on the following date of hearing in order to provide an explanation for why no legal action will be taken against them.
“The aforementioned respondents are not required to attend on the next day of hearing if the decision is carried out in letter and spirit by or before that date. The order continues, “List on 29.11.2023.” GNSS
