New Delhi, on August 4th.
The Supreme Court stopped a Calcutta High Court decision to suspend Keshav Chandra, who is the chief secretary of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The suspension was due to Chandra being accused of contempt of court. The Supreme Court felt that this decision by the High Court was too severe.
A group of judges, led by the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, also stopped the High Court’s decision to make Union Territory Lieutenant Governor Admiral DK Joshi pay a fine of Rs 5 lakh. Joshi supposedly did not follow an earlier order by the High Court to give workers their entitled benefits.
The High Court told them to come back for the next court date.
“You need a very serious situation for this type of order to be approved . ” We will choose these two options and make a list of them next week. “The punishment of suspension and fine is too severe,” stated the Chief Justice of India.
The high court said that the next most senior person in the UT Administration should take over and do the job of the Chief Secretary.
The August 3 order of the high court stayed after Attorney General R Venkataramani requested an urgent hearing on the matter.
The judges told Vikramjit that he probably upset them to get this order. Vikramjit represented the government of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The court sent a notice about the petition to be heard on August 11th.
The Calcutta High Court told two important people (Lt Governor Admiral DK Joshi and Chief Secretary Keshav Chandra) to come to court on August 17th because they didn’t take the contempt of court proceedings against them seriously.
The High Court requested the LG to attend online, while the Chief Secretary was told to be there in person on August 17.
“They must explain why they should not be sent to jail for being disrespectful to the court, which has already found them guilty of contempt,” the judges had emphasized.
They supposedly didn’t follow the court’s order from December 19, 2022 to pay more money to about 4,000 daily workers. The authorities of the UT were told to give the increased dearness allowances that have been pending since 2017 to the DRMs.
