Jasvinder Bains v. the State of Hp and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioners sought execution of an earlier High Court judgment directing the respondents or competent authority to consider and decide their representations within six weeks, having regard to an earlier decision. Although the respondents’ counsel stated that the judgment had probably been fully implemented, he undertook to ensure compliance within eight weeks if it had not. The Court disposed of the execution petition with that direction, allowing the petitioners to seek revival and appropriate enforcement if the direction was not complied with.
What did the court decide?
The respondents were directed to implement the earlier judgment within eight weeks, failing which the petitioners could seek revival of the execution petition for appropriate action.
