In a suit
relating to a deceased Central Port Trust employee’s wife for compassionate
appointment where the State lost their suit in SB, DB and in SC and dragged the
case
for thirteen years leading to the petitioner filing CCP Justice Sasidaran
while closing the contempt case observed that “the State should wage legal
battles only in deserving cases. Government officials dragging subjects from pillar
to post must realize that people are the masters and they are only government servants.
The Government is by the people and for the people.
The SC order in this case
is a warning to those public authorities who litigate without examining whether
it is a fit case to spend public money on such litigations.” (Interestingly the
case prolonged for 13 years).
Coming 3rd
December let us wait for what Justice Chauhan has to say about our own case
pending for 13 years.
