Delhi high court news: The Delhi High Court has once again made it clear that there is no place for negligence in any pillar of democracy. The court took cognizance of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (DSGMC) elections, taking cognizance of the Chief Secretary of the Delhi government and gave clear instructions to expedite the electoral process.
Commenting in a very strict tone, Justice Mini Pushkarna of Delhi High Court said, “This court is giving instructions again and again, yet the process of preparing the voter list has not started. Such messing cannot be tolerated with electoral transparency. In 2022, the court gave clear instructions that new photo lists of all 46 wards are prepared on time after two years. It started, nor any concrete time limit was fixed. “
Court raised questions on 12 months demand
The Gurudwara Election Directorate claimed in the court that it would take 12 months to prepare the voter list. On this, the petitioners lodged a protest and said that it was clearly stated in the order of 2022 that this work could be completed in only five months. The court termed this delay as administrative apathy.
Responsibility entrusted to Delhi Chief Secretary
The Delhi High Court has directed the Chief Secretary to hold a meeting with the officials concerned within 4 weeks, decide a certain timeline and present its report in the court. Also, it should be ensured that the necessary manpower is made available immediately so that the process is not further delayed.
Next hearing on 20 May
The next hearing of this entire case will now be held on May 20, but the court has made it clear that if the fixed deadline is not followed, then the Delhi government may have to face serious consequences.
