N. Santosh Hegde, B.P. Singh, S.B. Sinha, JJ.
Prakash Singh and Others - Petitioners
Versus
Union of India and Another - Respondents
Writ Petition (C) No. 310 of 1996
Decided On : 10-02-2005
Directions - Union of India and States - Implementation of Recommendations and Directions from Previous Cases
Fact of the Case:
The court directed the Union of India and various States to provide reasons for not implementing the directions issued in a previous case and the recommendations made by the Ribeiro Commission Report.
Finding of the Court:
The court found that a proper response had not been received from the Union of India or the respective State Governments, and therefore issued directions for them to file their response within eight weeks.
Issues: Non-implementation of directions and recommendations from previous cases
Ratio Decidendi: The court's decision was influenced by the lack of response from the Union of India and the respective State Governments, leading to the issuance of directions for them to provide reasons for non-implementation.
Final Decision: The Union of India and the respective States were directed to file their response within eight weeks, and the matter was listed for further consideration after that period.
ORDER :
N. Santosh Hegde, B.P. Singh, S.B. Sinha, JJ.
Heard the learned counsel for the parties.
2. We are of the considered opinion that since a proper response has not been received either from the Union of India or from the respective State Governments in regard to the prayers sought for in the writ petition, we think it appropriate to issue directions to the Union of India and various States through their Home Secretaries that why the directions issued in para 60 in Vineet Narain v. Union of India, (1998) 1 SCC 226 and recommendations made by the Ribeiro Commission Report of 1998-1999 for implementing the same (sic were not implemented/followed).
3. The Union of India and the respective States shall file their response within eight weeks from today in response to these directions. Respondent 27, National Human Rights Commission will also file its recommendation in this regard.
4. List the matter after eight weeks.
