16-Year-Old Promise Broken: Contempt Plea Against Panchkula DC
A Panchkula resident has moved the High Court, accusing the Deputy Commissioner of contempt. The petition alleges non-compliance with a 2009 order mandating the allocation of alternative sites for dairy owners.
The petitioner claims repeated assurances from the administration have yielded no results, leaving dairy owners in limbo for over a decade and a half.
This inaction, the petition argues, constitutes a blatant disregard for the High Court’s directive. The matter is now set for further hearing on July 21.
The case highlights a persistent issue of bureaucratic delays and the struggle faced by citizens seeking redressal of long-standing grievances. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of judicial orders and their implementation at the ground level, impacting livelihoods and public trust in governance.
