The cases were to come up today but due to strike of Advocates the proceedings were slow and at 4.25 the court could complete 130 cases.
When it rose I drew the attention of the court to our cases and said that on
their own request LIC was given six weeks time but though today eight weeks
have expired there is no reply and that there is no need of any reply since
merits are not to be examined by this Court.
It is only the implementation matter and has to be implemented in
whatever shape it is.
The Court called for if any body has come from LIC, then
the ADM Law rose from whom the Court asked the reason for not filing the reply,
firstly he took the plea that on account of Advocates’ strike it could not be
filed, which I objected and said that Advocates are only not appearing in the
court filing has not stopped. then he said that there were transfers which also
I objected that LIC did not stop working during this period then why this work
was not done, this is contempt of the court.
Since the
time was over the ADM was asked to file reply within two weeks definitely otherwise it will be closed. I again said what is the reply they should give
time within what period the payment is to be made as per the comparative statement has been filed by me. But since
time was given it was stuck.
