Issues: Compliance with court order, Amendment of petition
Compliance with Court Order: The petitioner filed a petition due to the respondents' non-compliance with the court's order dated 27 June 2017. The court had previously directed the respondents to comply within eight weeks, but they failed to do so. The respondents had filed a review petition, which was dismissed in August 2019. Despite this, they still did not comply with the court's order. The respondents claimed they were in the process of filing an appeal to the Supreme Court, but as no stay order was obtained, they were obligated to honor and comply with the court's directive. The court issued a final directive for compliance within three weeks, warning of potential contempt action if not adhered to.
Amendment of Petition: The petitioner sought to amend the petition to include the names of Respondent Nos. 2 and 3, who were currently only described by their designations in the petition. The court granted leave for the amendment, specifying a deadline for the same and dispensing with re-verification. The amended petition was to be served upon the respondents.
The judgment highlighted the importance of complying with court orders and the consequences of failing to do so, emphasizing the need for timely adherence to judicial directives. The court's firm stance on ensuring compliance underscored the significance of upholding the rule of law and respecting judicial decisions.
